[QUOTE="adot45, post: 483527, member: 40001"] In my quest to set the Macro world on fire I finally got all the stuff I thought I needed. A decent camera, a 40mm micro-nikkor, and a ring light/ ring flash. [ATTACH=CONFIG]174260._xfImport[/ATTACH] Boy did I mess up. Every flash on every setting, on every power level, with D40 and with D3200 turned out like picture 1. Pure white. [ATTACH=CONFIG]174259._xfImport[/ATTACH] Using it as a light, this is my result. [ATTACH=CONFIG]174262._xfImport[/ATTACH] Embarrassed to even show this but if anyone has a suggestion ........it wouldn't take much to improve these results. Like, what setting on the command dial am I supposed to use? ( I tried most of them )...and how do I keep the onboard flash from popping up? ( I thought I read that the onboard flash will not pop up if a flash is mounted in the hot shoe. ) ....and ad infinitum .....Thank You [/QUOTE]
