Hi all,

I've got a Canon 350d with the stock 18-55mm lens and also a sigma 75-200mm lens.

I'm needing to get extremely close shots of leaves and other collected vegetation.

I've tried setting up a vertical set up with the camera on a tripod and pointing vertically downwards and two fill flashes (triggered by the camera's flash).

However I'm needing to get no depth of field and absolutely no glare on the leaves (I'm finding the camera flash is causing a lot of glare).

I'm also finding it difficult to get enough light into the zoomed in shot.

Can anyone help me with this - I'm happy to spend a bit if I need to buy a new flash or a new lens etc, but the trouble is I don't know what to buy or if I do!
