Default Macro Photography and Flowers
Probably a dumb question but here goes ... How does one hold flower in Macro photography soft box setup? Is there some special tongs/clips out there which I don't know about?

There are many ways to accomplish this. A simple one is get a piece of childs molding clay and make a small base to stick the stem in. Even a piece of chewing gum would work. I have a small stand with a pair of three way moving arms and aligator clips on the end I use.

Just be imaginative.
