Thanks all, At the moment i've just got the flash on camera with a mini soft box on it. The soft box is a $3 job from e-pay and is Brilliant (free postage from china too;)). I will be using the flash of camera using a ST-E2 when i get a battery for it.:lol:

Excellent shots. I love the flower in #2! Maybe try some closeups of it also? It's so pretty :)
