Thank you so much. I didn't do any photoshop. I use a +6 macro diopter for these. Opinions differ on the utility of additional macro lens but i found that it gave me slightly better sharpness. I don't own a strobe yet, still saving up for a good one. Currently using a hand held video light and moving it around until i find an angle that works.Your photos look super crisp. Are you doing a lot of sharpening in photoshop? If not, how are you getting them that crisp? Mine look muddy... maybe I need better strobe placement?
