A small flashing strobe light, powered by 6- or 12-volts dc source. Use as an attention getter, a warning signal, or as the light source in close up (macro) photography. Small object photography. Part 1. Tent illumination techniques. Small object photography. Part 2. Lighting requires a different visualization technique. Small object photography. Part 3. Using transilluminated light. The delicate difference. Specialized close-in lighting. Consideration of alternative lighting techniques for close-up photography of very small objects. Many diagrams illustrate light setups. Using tent lighting techniques to control unwanted reflections. Lighting techniques for small product photography. Penetrating light's mystery. Some valuable formulas take the guesswork out of photomacrography with an electronic flash. Macro-flash-lighting systems: Ringlights and beyond. Lighting equipment for closeups. What is available and tips on its use. TTL closeup flash. Off-the-film exposure measurement simplifies the complex procedure of taking flash closeups. General questions on flash closeups. How to get the film exposure correct when making flash closeups. Closeups with non-dedicated flash. Use this simple formula to determine flash-to-subject distances. Easy, inexpensive methods for lighting macro-sized subjects. Shows how to modify setups to produce the effects you want. How to overcome the problems of using automatic flash in extreme close-up situations. Build your own ring light for macro photography out of an inexpensive strobe unit. Reduce the light output of automatic flashes by putting Kodak lens tissue over flash tube. Very useful for close up flash pictures. Super close. Diagrams illustrate where to locate flashgun when making close-up photos of insects and animals.
