Harry,
From another perspective thats an interesting ' behind the scenes '. I had not thought of connecting the camera to the laptop before. I spent well over a hour getting the logo on this shot in position as it was not visible in the viewfinder. Case of take a pic, card out and into pc, check, move things a bit and redo. http://www.worldphotographyforum.com...5&limit=recent This view also shows your flash brackets very well. Very neat set up. Thanks for the post Don |

Thanks Don.
As you say remote capture as many benefits, but the only reason I used it in this case, is because I haven't got around to modifying my remotes to work on the 10D as well as the 300D. No doubt I'll make the necessary modifications in the next few weeks before the macro season gets underway. Have just been playing around with this macro setup again. Result attached. All being well I should have my new macroflash this weekend. Harry |
Another super shot Harry. Once again great detail maintained in areas of white. Superb detail.
Macro flash ............... that will be interesting. Don |

Hi Harry
I am fascinated by your shot of you taking the flower picture - do you actually see the image of the flower on the PC screen before you release the remote for the shot? - or does it appear on screen immediately after the shot is taken?. Brian |

Brian, as there is no live pre-view on a DSLR (as yet) you cannot see the actual image prior to taking the shot, so yes it appears several seconds after the shot has been taken. |

Have now obtained my dedicated macro flashgun the Canon MT-24ex Macro Twin Lite Flash http://www.the-digital-picture.com/R...sh-Review.aspx
As I've been away for the weekend this evening as been my first opportunity to try it out. I must say I'm totally blown away with the performance straight out of the box. As there is so much to learn and digest, my first attempt was to use the flash on full auto using ETTL. Attached is the result of my first photo using this remarkable flash gun. Nikon also make a similar product for their cameras. When I've mastered the flash I will add further comments and results. Harry |

Harry,
Thanks for posting and explaining your flash setup. This has been very helpful. I have been diverted by other things lately which is why I have not replied. Great shots. Thanks. |

The software guide is in a separate manual which should have come with the camera (well it is on my 300D anyway - not sure about other models) |

I've tried using Canon Remote capture and while it does the job, I only managed to get images to appear as thumbnails which I then have to click to open. I haven't managed to work out how to make the images appear full screen strainght out of the camera. Is there something I'm doing wrong :confused: |
Clive, To be quite honest I can't remember as http://www.worldphotographyforum.com...3&d=1142538294 I've not used the remote setup recently, in fact this is the last time I used it.
Judging by this image it would appear that initially you do get a thumbnail. To be sure I will try it out on Saturday, and come back to you. Harry |
I've got Close-Up & Macro, A Photographers Guide, by Robert Thompson and John Shaws Closeups In Nature (an older book) which give lots of advice and are a good read so try to read a copy of them if you can and they will help a lot and possibly save some expensive mistakes.Hope this helps.

As has been mentioned the 100 is an outstanding choice and with the use of tubes will get very up close and personal... 180 is my choice just for the additional working distance...And with a couple of tubes added you are in their face with room to spare. As was mentioned Damsels are very skiddish... Here is an example of what the increase in working distance can do.
180 with 36mm tube http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n...ns10061302.jpg 180 with 12mm tube http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n...ns10060832.jpg Good technique is key but working distance helps a great deal.....Take care....Alex |
Mike: What great advice you just offered!! The John Shaw book is a tremendous resource..... Couldn't agree more.....Take care...Alex
