Cool,:cool: If you are in Issaquah that means you can stop by my place after work and take more photos of montanes. :D

Interesting....:)
I am shooting with the XSi aswell. I am using the Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro, and the 430exII with the Lumiquest OmniBounce.

Would you be willing to post a few pictures of your rig? I would really like to see your diffuser.

The 100mm macro is a wonderful lens,and its tack sharp. I would like to invest in the 65mm Macro someday, 1~5x life size is pretty amazing and thats without tubes. Although tubes seam to be closer to my current budget we can all dream right?:)

I must also say I am a big fan of your work, and honestly your the reason I bought my camera...:eek::) Browsing through your gallery got me interested in photography. Thanks for the inspiration, and where should I send the bill??:p

Hey Jay, Glad I could be an inspiration! I did the same thing, found a guys photos I liked I bought the same camera he had.

If I could make a suggestion to your gear (not sure if the 430 has manual settings) But the 580 is a dream. I love it! It has tons of power and manual control. I often use it as a master to control my 420. It's abilities exceed my skill. And it's price exceeds many budgets, I found mine for $275 on craigslist.

I'm not sure I can take a picture of my rig, I don't have another camera. If you want to know about the diffuser, it's not as good as an omni bounce. It's just a flat diffuse. I have a 7" one and a 13" one and they fasten with velcro.

Thanks mate,

I actually did not know you were shooting the XSi. It just proves the point that you don't need a 50D or a 5D to get breath taking shots.:)

I looked at the 580 and wish I would have bought it over the 430, since the 430 cannot be used as a master. The 430 does have a manual mode, so hooray for that!:)


I also would like to build a ring light using the 430 and a 10" heat lamp dome. I have seen several examples on POTN. Many have had great success with them, and they are much much cheaper then a true ring flash.

Well I have the kiddos out side today for some natural sun, gotta run, thanks again mate.:)

Check ebay for ring lights. I just saw a new one on the market that converts your speedlite into a ringflash. It actually look slike it could work ok and it's cheap. It tunnels the light focuses it down around your lens. I'm guessing you lose some brightness.
 
Un-frickin' believable shots. These photos make me fall in love with the chameleon all over again. They are absolutley stunning. You have an exceptional eye for composition. Nice work!

I have 4 chameleons, and have traded in all other hobbies, and my personal life. I work 5-6 days a week and not an hour that I am awake passes where I'm not doing somthing chameleon related.

Ask Laurie....:cool: Everytime she calls I am either cleaning cages or feeding worms, or trimming plants...etc. :rolleyes:

It's not hard to find the time, when you trade all your regular friends and family in for ones with googly eyes and shooting tongues...:eek:

Catherine, I hope you will contribute to the AdCham page on the Uthmoelleri, there is NOTHING about them. :cool:
 
Wish I had something to contribute....

Wish I had something to contribute AJA! They just live out their cute little lives pretty quietly here. When I actually get some eggs to hatch and have babies that grow up I will feel like I have more to offer. I think there are a few other people around the world that could offer something more than I can right now.
