This was taken with the Canon light ring flash. First is with flash only with no photoshop and second is with adjustments. Do you think its to dark? Or do I got to always be making adjustments with photoshop?
Thanks for the help,
Earthworks...

Thankx

Looker;

I like 'em. You have an eye for composition.

Good camera, too---to be able to handle the sun like that.

Pegg: Took these in just the macro mode. Have just started to take my pics in the manuel mode with the setting of: Shutter speed 200, fstop 11 and iso 100. Also shooting with a canon macro light ring.
Love the light ring!! I'm so glad I got it .
The seated dime was taken in the manuel mode with those settings, I think I may get a little more detail than in the macro mode.
