Thats actually a pretty cool idea for someone with only the pop-up flash!

This will give you some idea as to options for setting up a macro rig. There many ways to do this, in the end it is up to you. I hope this is helpful.

That's just plain incredible! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you shuttervelocity

It can get involved.

The Pringles can flash adaptor for the pop up flash is a cool idea. The only problem with it is pop-ups have a very low power output. A great place to start no doubt. But when the time comes for greater than 1:1 (or large f numbers) macro that will be handheld, a hot shoe flash in a bracket will be a must. Also, you will want the ability to change the position of the light to avoid a flatish look to the photograph. To save money you can make one of these. It is a design from LordV, and actually gives better results than the ones that you can buy. I don't use one because I need something that will fold up and fit in my backpack.

You have the most important quality for macro, an enthusiasm and a willingness to learn. There many good macro shooters on this forum to help you. Another person that you may want to learn from is LordV, he has mentored many of us in the art of macro. Brian Valentine (LordV) - Google Search
