[QUOTE="gustafson, post: 610147, member: 40735"] While researching options to add lighting to my macro shots, I came across an intriguing idea of attaching a speedlite to a bracket along the length of the macro lens, such that the bulb sits at the front edge of the lens to light the subject (source: [url=http://orionmystery.blogspot.in/2011/05/270ex-for-macro-improved-version.html?m=1]Up Close with Nature: 270EX for Macro - improved version.[/url]) Anybody try something like this who could provide pointers? It occurred to me that I could try this with an SB700 alongside a 55 f3.5 (by itself, or on a PK-13), but needed ideas on fabricating a bracket to hold the SB700 in place. Figured I could use the pop up flash on my D7100 or D3300 to activate the SB700 (thus, eliminating the need for a TTL cable. Any thoughts on whether this might even work?) Thanks!
