I love the color saturations! Beautiful!
I believe that your exposures are exactly correct. Well done.
Exif info of image #15:
Camera Model: Canon EOS REBEL T3i
Lens: EF100mm f/2.8 Macro USM
Image Date: 2015-05-28
Focal Length: 100mm
Aperture: /16.0
Exposure Time: 0.040 s (1/25-sec) Why?
ISO equiv: 800
Exposure Bias: none
Metering Mode: Matrix
Exposure: Manual
Exposure Mode: Manual
White Balance: Auto
Flash Fired: Yes
If you are using speedlight (Flash Fired) for illumination, why such a long shutter duration? Which speedlight?

Using the pop up flash, I don't have a speedlight. It was almost dark so , I was making adjustment to see the difference. Thanks for the compliment and as always please continue with the advise.If you are using speedlight (Flash Fired) for illumination, why such a long shutter duration? Which speedlight?

I'm not offering a critique as such. Using a pop up flash with the 100mm is a bit problematic. What was your power setting? I've gotten past using the on camera flash but when I did I set it to the lowest power output and even then I used tissue and/or toilet paper to diffuse it. I like your attempts tho :-P

Hey, the reason I have them here is for critique. That's how I will get better. After I recover from the shock of what a speedlight will cost I will upgrade. As for the power setting I honestly don't know and didn't know it could be adjusted. Need to read the book again.I'm not offering a critique as such.

As far as speedlites go you don't need to buy the Canon brand. A lot of off brands will work just fine for what your doing just make sure they're compatible with the camera. As far as using your on camera flash. Press your menu botton>Flash control(should be in the first menu)>Built-in flash func. setting>Flash mode>Manual Flash>flash output. This will let you adjust your flashes power down to 1/128th power. I hope this helps

With either pop-up flash or speedlight, your shutter duration should be 1/200-sec (or a bit longer), to synchronize shutter opening. Too long a duration can capture camera or subject movement via ambient light on subject.Using the pop up flash, I don't have a speedlight.
You can diffuse your pop-up flash to help soften shadow edges, but this also spreads the light, effecting exposure. Take a look at DIY diffusers here: http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-32754-1.html#710299 & http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-32754-3.html#1177497 .
I purchased both of my speedlights on eBay: one refurbished and one used. To research speedlights, take a look here: http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-208134-1.html
