I was the lucky purchaser of the Nikon R1C1 setup offered for sale by smac recently. The equipment was hand-delivered to me in Brisbane by Stuart on Tuesday. Talk about superior customer service. Thanks Stuart!

Anyway, whilst I don't really yet know what I'm doing, yesterday I threw it onto the Nikon D200/Nikkor 105mm micro combination, and set about practicing on some unsuspecting blooms.

Here is a resultant image. I am really pleased with the subtle cross-lighting for macro purposes. The petals of this pale pink flower were not blown out, and yet the flash was able to provide enough lighting to get quite good depth of field.

As usual, the picture is probably better viewed at a larger size - just click:

Very nice Trevor.
Look forward to seeing more of your stuff with the new setup.

Trevor,

The horizon's not straight.

Bootiful ... and hand delivered to Brissie? Stuart does indeed give good service. Just don't buy a bed from him.

Nice catch and nice result Trevor

Trevor - gem of a photo and gem of a system. I have not yet explored all of the possiblities with the R1C1 - if you need spare batteries and/or charger I got mine from Tenergy in the USofA

I'm quite sure that Stuart won't be offended by this, but I have to admit that the words "Stuart" and "bed" in the one sentence had never entered my conscious thoughts.

Until now........

ps Trevor, the heading dates us, it must be 20-25 years since that was a well known advertising slogan
