      Thanks. The lighting was close to what I wanted, the exact positioning of the fill lights being determined by where I could get the spikes in the monopods into the ground.

          I agree the first one is a pearler.

              No - he said it was a Meadow Waxcap Hygrocybe pratensis. (In the best possible taste of course).

              I agree Phil it is what you said it was.

              Just like that - gone in a flash! Now in use.

                    Thanks, Iain,

                    That's the Kiron (aka Vivitar Series 1) 105 in action.

                      That first is a stunner, Harold, lovely to study.
                      We caravan a lot, and I spotted this http://media.towsure.com/catalog/pro...f/w/7/w753.jpg in the catalogue, made themind work as part of a light support for macro?
                      The picture tells the story, great when you have a bad memory.DW.

                        Thanks.

                        Here is my setup for the two fill lights, together with links to where you can obtain the "spikes" (the wrist straps are my additions).

                        I feel like this kind of post comes around now and then, but it sure is helpful for those just getting into macro--get's the creative juices flowin...
