Very nice close up. What magnificaiton is this one ?

For the flash do you rely on ETTL or just set some manual power setting ?

Thanks Chris - this is a crop of a 5:1 shot, I mainly use ETTL with FEC when required, as well as using ratio's on the flash head, if i'm having difficulty i'll switch to manual but most of the time ETTL works a treat .
