[tn-moths] Re: flash recommendation

Thanks, Ken, I'll try that tonight. I went to the Smokies Bugguide Gathering in 
2008 and some of the guys had those dual flash units. Their photos are so sharp 
and don't have weird shadows. Maybe I'm too picky, but I'm really jealous of 
those great, super detailed shots! Ha! Thanks to everyone who has sent 
suggestions!

I can't help with anything particular to Nikon but I do OK with my hot-shoe 
flash. The key is to shoot manual with a very fast shutter speed. Usually I'm 
shooting 1/1600 to 1/2000 at about f/10. Sometimes much faster shutter speed if 
it's a light moth. Shiny white ones as fast as 1/4000.

I have not been real happy with my macro flash shots on some of my moth photos. 
I have a Nikon D90 with a 105mm macro lens. I have been using my built-in 
flash, my hot-shoe flash, and an added RayFlash ring attachment. Some of you 
have incredibly sharp close-up shots that I would like to get. Do any of you 
use the dual flash attachments for close-up shots? If so, and you are a Nikon 
shooter, which one do you use? I've seen different models at different price 
ranges. Thanks for any advice!
