I picked up a cheap Chinese made flash to use for some macro shots.
The flash is not powerful but it works. I tried a few thing with the color temp while shooting these samples with my Fujinon 55mm EBC lens.
The color temp was set @ 3100K for this shot. The pic is a bit blue but I liked the results.
kelvin is set @ 5700 here ( normal for the flash )
Once again I went to 3100K to test the results.

Thanks John.. 
I am learning to really enjoy this Fujinon. It's actually quite a nice lens. At first I was a bit disappointed with the results at 3.5, but the more I use this lens, the better the results. A bit of control and careful shooting make this lens shine.
I was thinking maybe my Nikon 3.5 was a bit better wide open, but now Im not so sure.

Thanks everyone for taking a look.
Yes, 3100 Kelvin is not the right temp, much too cool for the flash shot. I just like to experiment and see how things turn out. Sometime things work and other times no.
I liked the blue in the shots for some odd reason. the last shot almost looks like the plant is resting in water. A very odd affect.
I tried this years ago shooting tungsten film in daylight conditions. I discovered it's much easier to control with digital than film.

Very nice macro shots. Done with RAW mode? If so: isn’t colour temperature relative then?
This season I use the EBC 3.5/55 as a "summertime walkaround lens" too. It is not only good with macro. |

@ mflex
Yes shot in RAW.
Im not sure I understand the point you make but...
Samples show the difference in temp. #2 is normal, #1 and #3 @3100 kelvin.
Pics went blue as expected.
The camera is under the assumption that Im shooting tungsten balanced film while my strobe produces daylight balanced light. thats why I went blue. Same pricipal with tungsten film shot in daylight.

@spiralcity
thank you. What I mean is: cou can adjust colour temperature in RAW development so "real" colours are relative. This is different to shooting on film. |

Yes, sure you can adjust but the principal is the same as film. My camera was set to a tungsten color temp and thats exactly the results I got.
I didnt want to change anything because this is exactly what I was trying to achieve.
Tungstem film will behave the same way when shot in daylight.
