Yep, lots of ways to approach it. I do a lot of macro work but always with a lot of flash and control with an SU 800. You just have to learn where to position the flash to get you the results you want.

I bought a 105 VR over a year ago and have only used it once. Took a picture of a flower and didn't get the results I wanted. Images came out blurry with just a slight wind. Didn't have the patience.

Depending ob your camera, you may be able to just set a higher ISO to achieve high enough shutter speed.

I doubt that was the problem. With macro the depth of field is so thin its crazy.

Yup. Shutter speed wasn't the problem. It was daylight so shutter speed was very quick. It was a photographer problem =(
