I have maybe used Live View a total of 10 times between my K-x,K-5 and now the K-3 so I really do not see where I would ever use it.

Broke down and bought Flashpoint R2 trigger and the Xplor 600PRO TTL and all I can say is love it even knowing nothing about using flash like this was able to start using without problem and they work great on K-1 and I think with little practice should be able to get some wonderful shots.
First shots from someone that had not a clue what I was doing

I have been asked by a few on here to share my technique for getting my macro photos so here it is.
This is probably going to end up being a multi-part post because really hate typing.
I will start by sharing my equipment set up.
Latest set-up: Pentax K-5 camera with Lester Dine 105-mm macro lens, Yongnuo YN-560 speedlight, Cowboy Studios 6x7 Softbox diffuser.

All my shots are hand held I use a milk crate to sit on and always try to keep my flash at no more than 1/4 power for the shortest duration of flash that helps freeze any movement.
I do the move camera back and forth to focus with the lens always at max magnification and always try to get the insect in the focal plane so I can get as much of the subject in focus as I can.
Here is an example of the insect being in the focal plane.

Here is one where I could not get it in the focal plane.

I have figured out that F/16 gives me the best results with my lens and that is where it stays 80% of the time I have shot some at F/18 and F/22 with acceptable results but not as consistent plus I have to use a higher ISO or up the flash power I try not to go over ISO 400 and most are shot at 1/180th sec unless I am trying to let more ambient light in.
Here is an example of a shot where I wanted more ambient light. Shot at F/16 at 1/100 sec
IMGP7214 by crumlyt, on Flickr
This shot was in the same location but at F/16 at 1/180 notice how the background is almost black.

That is all for today will continue tomorrow.
