What kind of Lighting are you guys using. I bought a few of those flood lights but there not bright enough for the super macro shots. Like Bubbleman,Canna get... Plus im blind cant see well to prevent shake..

nice pics.taking pics of your crystalls close up everyday is a great way to always know when its getting the perfect time to harvest lol. i just bought a cam and its junk i told the lady at the store for sure i wanted to take detailed close up and all im getting close up is blurry crap fucking best buy babe knows less about this shit then i do .
if its a DLSR you need optional equipment to go that small. Lens,Tubes,Bellows,Reversing ring,lights.
I have a reversed set up that "sometimes" is effective. Lighting is so critical and I do not have a favorite lighting set up. I use many but always try to set up in some direct sunlight somewhere even if just a little sliver comming into the frame.
Here is a old glass Canon 35-105mm MD lens reveresed on an extension tube-yes I've tried just about every combination possible. With it I am using a Canon flash bounced, two 400 watt daylight bulds.
..and the image from the screen. Live view is extremely useful to me as you can enlarge in the view finder and manual focus to get as sharp an image as possible.
..images of Jolly Bud captured with this set up. They are not my favorites but what I could find for this post. I cannot stress enough how important "NO SHAKE"..absolutely no vibrations, is in this type photography. I actually turn down the old Marantz amp when shooting. I use a 6 foot extension and a chair on rollers, rolling away from the set up, waiting a moment, then closing the shutter. Peace out..DD
