sorry for the gear thread /p/ but im looking for a cheapish diy outside macro lighting setup. i want something portable, maybe some leds on the end of the lens? anyone care to share setups that they have tried? im wondering if leds would be bright enough. ideally, i would like to avoid a tripod and get some massive light going so its not a pain to hike with.
you need either a whole fucking lot of LEDsor a few compact fluorescents, then just strap those fuckers to your lens barrel and wire everything togethernothing you make yourself will be portable unless it's powered by an on camera flash
that's a pretty badass fucking set up and whatever that thing you're taking pictures of ispost pics
