Hello- Re. colour balance- it helps if you have a 'known' area of white in your shot- in this case it could be the white socket* on the wall. The first version does look slightly warm and yellowish, the second has a very definite blue cast. Assuming that there is one dominant light source (temp) I suggest that you adjust the balance so that the socket and the printed card on the table show up as white and greys. Cheers, Gary
*PS. Not sure what the wall colour should be as there are so many tinted white paints on the market

The majority of my macro shots are taken with this lens with a Raynox DCT 250 attached. It is also a great lens for general use- mine cost £24.99 off ebay- mint condition with both caps- best buy ! Cheers, Gary

I modified an old speaker wall bracket arm ( any fairly light metal section would do )- just cut off a few bits, filed rough edges down and drilled some mount holes, pipe insulation material can be split and fitted on the bracket arm for comfort. I have a K20D plus grip and a Metz 54i mounted on this bracket. The bracket arm can easily be adjusted to suit any lens mounted on the camera by swinging it forward or back. Most of my macro shots are taken handheld with this rig. Cheers, Gary

I hope I've got image posting right this time!
K10D with remote, Sigma 70-300-Raynox DCR 250 stuck on the end. On camera flash and a couple of foil& card reflectors. Just exploring refracted images in waterdrops.
