Here we go with another cool diy project: a cheap Macro Flash!

There are a couple of way to do really close up photography:

- Buy a Macro Lens (which cost! and well, if you don't want to spend money...well...skip that!)

- Placing an auxiliary close-up lens in front of the camera's taking lens (they doesen't cost too much)

- Reverting your lens using a reversing ring (yep that's the chepest way!) You need to buy a reverse ring for your camera and lens, so you can attach your lens in the other way you normal will attach it to the body of the camera!

- Reverting your lens by taping it in reverse on another lens already attached to your body camera (you just need to have 2 lens and some tape! That's the CHEAPEST way)

The problem of sufficiently and evenly lighting the subject can be difficult to overcome. Some cameras can focus on subjects so close that they touch the front of the lens. It is impossible to place a light between the camera and a subject that close, making extreme close-up photography impractical.

Ring flashes, with flash tubes arranged in a circle around the front of the lens, can be helpful in lighting at close distances. Ring lights have emerged, using white LEDs to provide a continuous light source for macrophotography.

Homemade flash diffusers made out of white Styrofoam or plastic attached to a camera's built-in flash can also yield surprisingly good results by diffusing and softening the light, eliminating specular reflections and providing more even lighting.

So, here you will Find some useful information on using your flash light on your macro shots!!
