SMS Macro Outing X (Night Macro at Lower Pierce)

[Dinorex]

This will be my first macro, to make thing harder is night macro(I know I in the 11th position but will be there anyway ;p). I have been practising using Raynox 250 with my 50mm. It so damn difficult. Anybody have any tips?

And btw how much is Tamron 90mm going now?

I bought my Tamron 90mm 2 months ago for $540 at MS Colour.

Set the 50mm to 0.45m focus (lowest), use Manual mode, F16, ISO 100, 1/125sec should be fine. Use flash with difuser, and torch to assist with focusing. You can only use manual focus with 50mm + Raynox250, since you'll be around 10cm from the subject (much closer then the minimum distance for auto-focus).
