Macro-photography Setup

This here is the setup i use to get macro images of insects I've been posting on Flickr to date.

 

The body is a Canon 550D

The lens is a 50mm Mark 2 Prime lens.

This lens is reversed on a set of macro extension tubes with a 52mm thread reverse ring.

I made the extension tubes longer with a toilet roll and some duct tape.

The flash is connected to the camera body via a flash chord and the flash has a diffuser attached - Home made and one built in.

 

Any questions, feel free to ask me. Thanks.
