Thanks everyone for your views!

The aphids actually look like some alien bunnies! Nice shots!

Do you have a pic of your flash setup somewhere? I'd like to try having multiple light sources or reflectors set up next time, curious on how you did yours while handheld.

You can look at my equipment link. But thats with the flash bracket.

Normally I hold the flash with my left hand, while supporting the camera at the same time.

Yeah thats what I'm trying to picture in my mind. If you're holding both cam and slave flash together, unstable? Left hand supporting camera no?
