@thefarmhand, you’re very welcome! Sounds like you’ve got enough light to keep you busy for a while! 🙂 I just recently found out that Yongnuo makes a macro ring flash, a clone of the Canon MR-14EX
I’ve been reading up on Don Komarechka’s methods for snowflake photography. He uses a macro ring flash with spectacular results, so it really interested me that I can get one from China for 1/5 the price!
