I've always been facinated by Flamingo Tongues...can you tell?

These three were taken with an Oly C-4040, the only the internal flash at a setting of -.07


This last Atlantic Grey Cowrie shell was taken with my old S&S MX-10...sometimes I still miss film (gasp!)

thanks for sharing these pics Dee, the detail is great, and also educational.

Not as good as Dee's but it's pretty large - around 1.5 ft.

Glad you enjoy them!

Not a patch on the beautiful pics that Dee started this thread with, but here are a few of mine from Turkey.

Dee, how did you get such good results with just the internal flash? I shot one in Cozumel earlier this year, but the color was off.

How was your color off? Over/Under exposed?

I leave my white balance on the default setting, that's one thing that can change the colors. The internal flash works well with the macro. I set the internal flash to -7, it's so bright it will blow out light colors if you're not careful.

Post one of yours and let me see what you're talking about, that'll help.

Here's one taken with my trusty old MX-10, taken on the GBR.
