My macrophotography setup
Being an enthusiast for macrophotography, I prefer my gears and setup to be relatively simple and free from clunky and heavy setup.
There is no right or wrong setup, it’s just a matter of which setup works better (or handles more comfortably) in our own hands. Some fellow photographers fit their flashguns with diffusers and off-camera brackets, all in the quest of obtaining a more balanced lighting and exposure.
Below are a few of my relatively straightforward gears.
1. Nikon D40 + AF-S Micro Nikkor 105 mm + SB 600 + demb diffuser
2. For natural lighting, I attach the lens hood for a better and steadier handling.
3. Setup for macrophotography with natural lighting. D300 + AF-S Micro Nikkor 105 mm (with lens hood on).
4. D300 + AF-S Micro Nikkor 105 mm + SB 900 (with diffuser). The head of the flashgun is tilted all the way down.
Occasionally, I remote flash the SB 600 for additional lighting for the background. I try to avoid shooting with a dark background, except only when I want to hide a busy one.
