I thought it would be interesting to see my macro evolution ever since I got the Tamron 90mm.
Back in the day I never used flash and disliked using flash very much, boy how things have changed.
Here is a shot taken in my backyard back in 2012, I used golden syrup to attract the green tree ants. No flash and natural lighting.

In 2013 I got a LED ring light, this was ok but not something that I would buy again.

And here is one that I think was no flash and the EXIF would support this, also 2013. I also started using the Raynox DCCR-250 close up filter.

Still in 2013 and experimenting more and more with onboard flash.

In this shot I was using the LED ring light to light up my subject and my dodgy onboard flash diffuser.

I eventually done away with the LED ring light and went dedicated dodgy diffuser.

And 2014 I was still using the same diffuser set up.

In 2015 I have upped the anti by now going to my SB910 and luminox softbox.

I am liking my current set up and can see it lasting me awhile
