Glad you liked your shots!

#1 is tricky to get the lighting inbetween the leaf, and you did well. But the overall compo is too center.

For the rest, good focus on the eyes.

I would be more than extremely pleased with these shots! Am inspired to learn macro too.

The flash is mounted on the hotshoe and pointed straight on, then angled 45degrees to the right.

yo bro, this part a bit don't understand. You mean the whole camera is tilted 45 degree to the right?

Wah, your setup makes me really paiseh...I haven't really put my 105mm to good use...:embrass:

i agree with you that its centre but since there were two leaves cutting across i thought a central composition could work. Noted on this! thanks!

thanks!

to those who wants to see the set up i have not took the picture yet, will do so if possible!

 

[sprintist]

for those who enquired the pics, here it is.

actually the bounce card i was holding it. after acquiring the new lens, i could mount it on the lens focusing ring and it can turn easily 360 degrees too! very convenient now haha but of course sometimes holding in the hand is more objective.

wah thats too flattering already bro! still far from best

very nice!:thumbsup:

i believe the more reflective the bounce card is the better to fill up shadows and balance the light. I hope it works for you and many others who may try it out too
