yes definitely not a ring flash, most seem to think a flash and diffuser is better. just need to play about with some different materials for the diffusion. n

Work in progress, better than ring flash??

Thanks guys, will have a look at your suggestions

anyone recommend a reasonably priced ring flash for macro. Dedicated canon ones too expensive for me !!

I have a Canon 300mm 2.8 is lens and was thinking of the two times converter. had the opportunity to take a few shots with the new MK 3 and was very impressed. Calumet hire them for £19 for the weekend so I am going to get one from them to do a more thorough test.

When I first started out I was also confused and was recommended this book: - Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson (ISBN 0-8174-6300-3) I thought it helped a lot and it was not too expensive Worth a try definately

forgot to add - always worth asking team manager/ parents if they have any objection to you taking photos. - never had a problem when I have done that - personal touch seems to work but appreciate thats not always possible - public events etc. but where possible it might just cover your back in...

having been involved in childrens sports you SHOULD be criminal records bureau checked - get yourself a self certification through them - might save you some hassle if confronted by angry parents or officials. But then again!!!
