Hi Shien,
Can I know more of this setup ?

Flash was off the camera's hotshoe, mounted on a flash bracket ..

look new to me. Is this specially for macro shoot? I only use a external flash but pointing upward when shooting. Is this set up correct?

Well, i feel there is no right or wrong about individuals set up.
Important thing is we get the result that we want.

[yun10]

nice! i like the last one most!

 

[limengalan]

I viewed your camera set up as compare to my flash which mounted directly to my camera.
what will be the difference in lighting ?

 

[0ng Wee Shien]

Hi Alan,

from what i know, by placing the flash off the camera's hotshoe
the subject will "pop" out off the background in another words
the whole pictures will not be so flat..

i mignt be wrong about this, maybe some other Macro experts
can help out on this ..

Cheers

Hi Wee shien, good to see you here!

Nice shots! As you know, last shot would be my fav! The prey's eyes could be a little sharper though!

 

[0ng Wee Shien]

It has been quite sometime since i hv post any photos here..
so here is it ..

Mating Damselfly..
ISO200, F11, 1/13sec, fev-1.7

 

[loboclerk]

Great quality shots! All mounted on tripod right?

 

[nyxx88]

nice shots you have . and... very interesting flash bracket too!! mind PM'ing me details of your flash bracket? thanks

 

[ex0rzist]

Interesting setup you have......For my macro shooting, i normally do hand held as most of the time the subjects are in awkward positions or have to chase them around. Quite cumbersome to lag a tripod for me. Nice shots !
