The flash was never direct, it was above, slightly behind or lateral ... or combination because there were 2 flashes ... that way with certain exposure the background can be dark even in the middle of a bright day ... here ad example ...
... this was in the middle of the day on the open meadow ... this was 1/500 sec ...f/14 ... ISO 100 ... and those flashes ... camera cannon eos350, lens 100 mm macro

I realized that a clamped aperture, fast shutter speed make the night, and the flash highlights the subject. I had not thought of such a method before. Thanks, I have to try. That's just the appearance of flashes yet. I will buy. What kind of flash do you use?
Right now :) just the built-in flash of my compact camera ... back then, 10 years ago when I made those photographs ... I was using Canon 430EX II Flash ... and sometimes Canon Mr-14ex macro ring lite ... but I never mounted this ring on the lens, I was always shooting with the ring in one and the camera in another hand, so I could go with the light above and lateral to things ...
Yes, light that creates shadows is more interesting than light without shadows. Now I intend to make myself several light sources on diodes and a battery. So far, these are only intentions. But I will do it eventually. I have an A72M without a built-in flash. Sometimes the flash is not enough.
I don't know all the options available today ... but surely there is a lot more and for better prices that then ... I don't follow much this gear development for DSLRs because I use a small camera now ... so I have no good advice about that
You have already given good advice. I see one of the ways I’ll go. Thank :-)
