My lean mean, improved macro machine!

<b><center>You should appreciate the locline flash bracket. The flash bracket itself is a $10 camcorder video light bracket from frys.
The flash is a s52 Phoenix $20 slave special. I had to attach 2 pieces of 5/8 white polycarbonate as a diffuser. I used velcro for each, pretty cool.

I have attached a UV and circular polarizer from a camcorder infront of the reversed 50 to block some light.

Now for the pictures: I washed my dog and found this guy...
He is on a paper towl.

My TiVo remote giving the thumbs up!!

Wow thats amazingly close. I'm surprised the flea stayed in one spot long enough for you to take a pic or two



Cheers

On that note... I have one LFS that always seems to forget to put their supplies away, or to turn on the ventilation for that matter.

Maybe they think that if the customers breathe a little in, all of their corals will somehow look more impressive. I don't know! It's always a nice store to visit in the late afternoon...
