Macro video studio set-up to shoot the colony footage for the BBC documentary 'Empire of the Desert ants'. If anyone hasn't seen it would recommend it. The production, story and natural history documentation is top-notch. www.ctranter.com

DreDaze happy with myself for not saying anything stupid  More info | Sep 24, 2011 15:03 | #758 here's my newest set-up(shown on my film camera since i used my 40D)...i picked up an older canon ring flash that is for film cameras cheap off of ebay...it only outputs at either full strength, or i can use half of it...it has a little light that is great for lighting up the subject before shooting...you just have to figure out the settings to dial it into before using...i might get a ND filter so i don't need to stop down to f16...so far i'm really pleased with it  a few samples:   Andre or Dre

BasAndrews Cream of the Crop  More info | Oct 02, 2011 12:23 | #759 For now I have a simple rig. I use one or two macro rails to get the flash where I need it. The flash is mounted on my tripod ballhead. For the most part the lighting is not the problem, it is generally that I cannot focus without a large amount of luck.

Unfortunately this rather less attractive solution works better.
Consequently I'm thinking of adding some foil to the Rogue Flashbender. Having previously tried a Stofen diffuser, a Gary Fong Puffer and variations of on my 580EX II I have come to the conclusion that the pairing of a softbox and a right angle of bounce gives me a bit of three dimensionality. However it makes creeping up on flies a tad more challenging.   HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.
