Faux macro

Not quite true macro, but 2 pretty close, 135mm with tubes, natural light.

And 2 shots, of a bee, 105mm macro + bellows + ringflash

The set up worked, very nice.

I much prefer natural light to flash for this kind of picture. You'd never get the nice softness of the close-up bee using flash.
