Just shove that probe into things that don't normally get probed... Cinematic gold.

Noisy and "faded". I brought the vibrancy up but saturation down and then lifted the black point a bit so there's no true black.

I need to figure out a good flash situation for doing the macros.

I have a 50 reversed to a 135 for the macro and both lenses are 3.5 so unless in really good light, I have to use really high ISO and it's killing me with noise. I'd like to be able to shoot much faster shutter speeds too and/or use flash to freeze motion.

A lot of macro shooters roll their own solutions with speedlights, Pringles tubes, and construction paper. There are off-the-shelf solutions but they get expensive fast. The one I use is the Yongnuo YN24EX which was the cheapest non-garbage option I found.

Note that although they only provide specific versions for Sony or Canon, the flash should work with any camera that has a centre-pin hotshoe. You'll just not have TTL or wakeup functionality.

Thank you for the recommendation. I owned yongnuo a long time ago for Speedlite. Forgot how much cheaper they were than brand name.

I haven't followed much macro stuff but I subscribed to his channel but I never actually watch. I saw him do a l bee post at the same time. Felt like your skills are tremendous.

You know, as far as the composition goes, call me crazy, but I feel like a little off the top?

You've got a pretty solid shot here 😎
