OK, I'm totally in the dark here, there are flashes specifically for macro work? Or are you guys talking about using a regular flash while doing macro work?

I think they are these funky little ring flashes you can attach to your camera. I know that's how they work for underwater macrophotography...

Ah, OK, yes, I've heard of those ring flashes. Somewhere I saw a bunch of butterfly shots made with the aid of a ring flash - they were just beautiful.
you could save some $$ and just get an off-camera cord if you already own a flash. of if you're a Nikon boy, use your wireless settings
It's a bit different than that Tim. If you use a normal flash gun hand-held, you're going to get serious shadows. Even with reflectors all over the place, the camera lens is so close to the subject that you can't get light onto it.
The ring-flash is the best way but they're expensive. Even a light tent doesn't work that well as again the lens just gets in the way and casts shadows
