sounds fun, do you have some examples handy? (i can get attachments
offlist)

the only close-up picture i've taken with a flash was one of those
'fortunate accidents', i was shooting an aloe full of morning-haze water
drops, and unintentionally activated the flash. i was so close that the
flash came in frome on side, giving more volume to the water drops.

i thinking of submitting that picture to megapixel.net close-up gallery
