>>4347991>Lens shadowGet a speedlite. Amazon ones are like $50 and good enough. They will sit much taller than your inbuilt flash so unless your subject is an inch away from the lens that will work.
>1 or 2 keepers... 15 minutesNot unheard of with living macro. I'm not much of a bugman but I normally get about a 5-20% keeper rate. My blob Canon has a decently high burst mode with flash though, so I've technically got a leg up on you. It's all bullshit because the biggest advantage you could get yourself is a camera with a sync rate of 1/500th which is kind of rare.

>>4347995Please don't kill shit just for the sake of taking a photo, you autists. If you want to end life in a morally justifiable way go be a cop and wear a bodycam, but fuck off from macro.
>>4348010If you get the bennies, the Olympus 60mm macro is basically a $400 cheat code for macro. The 30mm works well and actually has better magnification but you'll be very close to the subject
