It is important to have a uniform exposure on all of the views which can be a little tricky when changing the focal length between the 1:10, 1:2 and 1:1 magnifications as well as keeping the same exposures between the before and after shots. One way of improving uniformity of all of the exposures is to establish your own cameras’ exposure protocol. And the best way of doing it is to shoot some trial photos and choose the best of them. Example:

	Camera		Lens		Flash
	Nicon D100 SLR Digital		AF MICRO NIKKOR 105mm 1:2.8 D		Nicon MACRO SPEEDLIGHT SB 29

	FRONTAL VIEW
	1:10 Magnification Non-retracted		1/160 sec – f/8 Flash Sync Mode: Not Attached, Full Power		Levels

	FRONTAL VIEW
	1:2 Magnification Non-retracted		1/160 sec – f/29 Flash Synch mode: Not Attached, ¼ Power		Levels

	RIGHT LATERAL VIEW
	1:2 Magnification Non-retracted		1/160 sec – f/29 Flash Synch mode: Not Attached, ¼ Power		Levels

	LEFT LATERAL VIEW
	1:2 Magnification Non-retracted		1/160 sec – f/29 Flash Synch mode: Not Attached, ¼ Power		Levels
