RPCrowe Cream of the Crop  More info | Here's my macro setup... I don't like ring lights and this gives nice even lighting...  The bracket is a Siegelite which is often available on eBay for a pretty low price (the $20 U.S. Dollar one below is on the high end of their range). http://cgi.ebay.com …ories&hash=item230ff58633 My softbox is a Lumiquest but, there are Chinese knock-off copies on eBay pretty cheap: http://cgi.ebay.com …ories&hash=item45fa06105c This outfit would run less than $30 U.S. Dollars with the equipment you already have from Jessops. The Siegelite also makes a decent off-camera flash bracket for other uses. The macro setup provides very good results...   See my images at http://rpcrowe.smugmug.com/
