Welcome to my Photo Blog

The Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 is not really a macro as the closest distance is 13 inches, so these shots are about as close as one can get.  I had to do a crop, but did not enlarge the image to sacrifice quality.  I shot them in my homemade light box with a lamp to camera left and a hot shoe flash.  I really need a wireless solution.

Here is a light box I created with instruction from the Strobist. It works great as evidenced with the prior goofy photo. The total cost was $0.
