Macro Flower Shots I am interested in close up floral shots. I plan on purchasing either the Nikon 60mm f/2.8 macro or the 105mm version. My question is: How do I get a black background with a macro shot of a beautiful lone flower? I read that you can use a flash or underexpose your image by one stop below metered reading. Can someone enlighten me? Thanks very much.

You can either use flash (set at a distance to illuminate only the flower), or use natural light and prop up a piece of black foam-core or poster board behind the flower. I would personally opt for the latter ... and shoot outdoors on a cloudy day.
