Just got a SB-800 and I've been playing with it. My son found this Praying Mantis so I thought I'd try and see if the new flash would make macro any easier...


Now I need to re-read Brian's flash how-tos. (And get a set of tubes.)

    Thanks.

    I sent a copy to the local drugstore to be printed in 5"x7" for my son. It actually looks nice with the contrasting color and the tighter crop. I think he'll be the primary customer for bug pictures.
