#22Beautiful images. If you have an SLR/DSLR camera you can buy a macro lens and a flash and get some surprisingly good close ups of insects - with all sorts of details you can't see with the naked eye. You can safari in your own garden or nearby land. It opens up a whole new world. You'll need an electron microscope for viruses though!
Probably worth paying up for a ring light. Flash can cause unpredictable and hard to control glare and hot spots.

In macro photography, flashes are usually used with a big diffuser. Ring lights probably have their own issues and don't seem to be that popular with macro photographers (from my non-expert knowledge).
