Soo I spent some time this evening making myself a lightbox out of cereal boxes (I'm really bad at craft work!). Anyway I decided to use the 70-300 to get a macro of my snap dragon. This is the best attempt, straight from the camera unmodified
And this is how I had it set up. I had the camera + flash in commander mode
Now admittedly the camera is on auto white balance so I presume that's why the colour is off. Is it underexposed? Also how am I supposed to use this lens for macro work? I found it very very tricky to get focus, and it wouldn't auto focus at all!
