Hi there,

today I decided to bite the bullet and experiment with something I have been putting of for over a year and that is macro flash using 350D, Canon 100mm f/2.8, and the MT24-EX Macro Flash.

Here are a few photographs for that experimentation and also shot of a home made diffuser I made for the use on that flash using 2 cream containers and rubber bands, the only trouble is the guide lamps used for aiming at the subject, the diffuser needs to be removed to aim then put back on.

The two shots using the flash were shot in complete shade.

Comments welcomed good and bad.

Regards Darren
