Description
Do it, do it, dooooo iiiiiiittttt! Any questions? Go ahead and ask!
Might just clear up a few things right here.
I'm using a Nikon D60 + kit lens (Nikkor 18-55mm).For my macro shots I use macro filters which are muuuuch cheaper than macro lenses of course (you see I'm all about saving money lol).
Find a cropped and slightly edited version of the example picture here:

Hey, sorry for the very late reply. I don't have a macro lens, all I have is macro filters (much cheaper, but just as good)

Your tutorials are so awesome !!!! I have a question about this , the purpose of a flash extender is to avoid shadows? Would an external flash help do the same as a flash extender?

I believe it would, but don't quote me on this one

Did you try adding a plain white piece of paper on the end of the juice box? It might make a little difference.
