RE: Steemit Photo Challenge #54 / Entry 2 / Portrait of a live Robber Fly
What a picture! I would love to be taking pictures like this. I need to get a decent Macro set up.

Best option in my opinion is to buy a reverse ring and an old m42 lens with manual aperture. I used the kit lens for this image, so you definitely don't need to invest much. Flash and homemade diffuse box is the most important pieces of equipment. My flash is an old one from the 90's. Worked fine on my canon but took about 20 seconds to rebuff after use. The neewer basic flash gun which is like $25 max works a charm. Youtube advice for building a defuse box or check out Thomas Shahan. I basically just copied him. He is my hero :)
