My equipment is essentially just a dedicated macro lens for my Olympus camera and a set of Neewer extension tubes. For lighting, it is natural light or a small Godox TT350 flash on my camera shot through a small diffuser that I hold on my lens. For indoor studio setting, I use 2 flexible LED end table lights. Sometimes I have painted backgrounds with my iPhone and various colours on my screen. Also I like to tether the camera to my computer when possible.

Robert I love your spheres within spheres!

I also love the patterns in your work.

Particularly what I am thinking is fungi but also seems like slices of wood stacked!

Really great shots!

Will,

​

These are superb! Fabulous how these burst out of the cactus! Whet macro lens is this the 50 or 100 Canon?

Canon EF 50mm f2.5 macro

All 4 Canon 100mm macro lenses EF L, RF L, EF, & EF USM are useless for what I shoot!

The best is the RF 35mm IS STM MACRO!

The RF 24mm IS STM MACRO is useless as well since it is impossible to properly mount a ring-light to it!

Asher stop commenting and post something of yours!

Will,

Can you explain your statement,
“All 4 Canon 100mm macro lenses EF L, RF L, EF, & EF USM are useless for what I shoot!”

Why?

The best is the RF 35mm IS STM MACRO!

Does that have a built in flash?

 

[Will Thompson]

Can not mount a ring light or not wide enough!
