This morning when I was taking the kids to school, I noticed some snails in the potted plants outside the front door. When I returned from dropping the kids off, I got my camera and my macro lens flash.
My Christmas present this year was a Canon MR14EX ring flash. The MR14 is a flash designed for macro lenses. Macro lenses are used to get very close to the subject. They can focus at a very short distance and fill up the frame with even a small subject. My macro lens is the Canon 100mm 2.8 macro lens.
