Thanks for replying Jon,


I didn't even know the zoom-function on Picasa, never used it [:P] And you're right about the increase of detail appearing [] I'll take my words back about the "unsharp" eyes...


I wanted to try out macro with tripod yesterday, but the wind was even too heavy for my flash to cover it, let alone a tripod could have handled it [A] But I figured out that when I know what I want, say mainly 1:1 photography, I put all my settings manual, even flash and it works pretty much like a charm. I'll keep experimenting for a bit the coming time. I wished I could rent a 65mm macro and flash anywhere near, but unfortunately that's not the case so I'll have to go with what I have. Often it is good to be mechanically challenged []

I don't like any reflection of flash to be honest [:P] But the dedicated Canon ring-flash would be good as well? Or would it make my images flat?

I'll keep that in mind, but I'm still not sure if I have any budget this summer, but I guess a twin-flash isn't really in the picture at the moment, because I'll probably go on holiday this year twice...and an expensive musical-event is upcoming...sigh setting priorities [A]


Thanks anyways! I'll try and post some macro-photos in the post your best section [Y]
