As new life is starting to appear in the garden, I decided to carry out an experiment with flash. I mounted my two Sigma EF 500 flashguns either side of my Canon 300D, using the onboard camera as a trigger.

The attached photo is the result. Not quite mastered the technique as yet, but getting close. This is an uncropped 1-1 macro. As a guide the distance from the tip to the base of the the first pair of buds is 12mm

The Sigma's are far to heavy for the brackets, making it very difficult to hold, so will look for a couple of cheap flashguns as substitutes and try again.
