I truly love the creativity and work you have put into your photos below. Would love to know what type of camera and lenses you are using.

vert important part of our technique i forgot to mention is our flashes. i use an sb-900 and marilyn sb-800... isnt it amazing how boys always get the more expensive gear? lol

we shoot in manual on the camera settings , and then use flash in ttl to expose the subject .the camera in manual lets us get the background as dark or as light as we choose and the flash freezes any motion in the flowers or bugs once it becomes the dominant light.

You know what I find odd? Why do they call it Macro Mode, when you're taking pictures of things that are Micro Sized.
