I posted this in the Talk section, but have gotten no comments in 3 days. Perhaps here I'll get some comments.
My first attempt at macro photography comes from some miniature painting I'm doing for a game I just got into. I want to post Work in progress pictures on a forum, and as a photographer I want the pictures to be good (the painting skills are that good but hopefully they'll get there).
I'm not to sure the best setup, I don't want to invest in any more equipment really, but might be willing to buy something to improve lighting if it is needed. I'm wondering which of these setups is best, any changes I should make, or an entirely different setup suggestion.
My first setup has a bounce flash above the model, basically blowing out the background and eliminating and shadows. A second flash is placed just to the right of the camera with a small softbox.
My second has one flash to the left, one to the right of the camera and a darker background.
All images clickable for full version.
Equipment used; 7d - 50 1.4 and 12mm kenko tube.
Exif data; Iso100 f/16 1/200sec - with manual flash settings (i forget what they were).
My gear list can be found in the link in my signature. Any comments, critiques and criticism appreciated.
