First attempt

So I read through all of the Macro stickies and went out and tried my hand at a shot this evening when I spied this little gal. Handheld with my 100mm Macro F2.8 and all three Kenko ext. tubes and my 580EXII. 1/200 at f16 and 400 iso.

I don't know what she thought but I'm pretty happy with it.

Looks pretty good to me! Here's a thought, though: Unless you're using some type of deflector/diffuser on your hotshoe-mounted flash, it's probably overshooting your subject.

Nice capture.

Lovely capture esp for first go !

No that was without anything to soften the light. I have no experience using it and had it set on ETTL. I plan on making one of the world famous coke can diffusers.

Thanks for the compliments. I'm really happy with it.

nice one

You should be happy.

Nice work,

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I feel a whole new world opening up.
