Fallen Blossom

This is one of the beautiful azalea blossoms in a not-so-beautiful state. I used my macro tubes and some focus stacking.
Looks great what is focus stacking?

I've got macro rings but have trouble getting enough light whats the best way to overcome this.

@mirroroflife Regarding focus stacking, it is a technique where you take several images with the focal plane in different spots. Then, you use photo editing to combine the images--taking the in-focus parts from each image.

For macro lighting, I often use an external LED panel for continuous lighting. I also know someone who made a diffuser from a plastic milk jug that he pokes his lens through. Then, he uses the built-in flash on the camera. For this image, I just used sunlight coming in through the window.
