I love the collection of glitter and multiple colours too.
If you really are cool with some macro tips I have a few (And maybe more.)
I would first suggest using either one specific Light Source like your camera flash for starters.
Or you could use a High Powered LED Flashlight, one that at least 60 to 100+ lumens.
When using the LED Flashlight you can bounce the light behind your macro subject,
or even use both lights your camera flash and the LED Flashlight.
Your ISO Settings are very important too, especially when shooting macro stuff or even insects.
And if your camera has manual shutter speed settings capability, you should set it to at least
1/125 or even 1/250 of a second.
This will help with the clarity and keep your shot coming out nice and sharp ...in the right areas that is.
I should also be sure that you know that when shooting stuff in macro, especially insects.
You will need a lot of light or everything will turn out too dark or nearly black.
And If your ISO Setting is too high you will get a lot of grainy looking pixels too.
Well that's all I've got for now, and if you would like to know more
you could just send me a note on my page.
Take care and keep that camera snappin'.

LMAO!!!
It's returned and exciting messages like yours
that make me feel like I really am making a difference.
Thank you too.
Yes using your cameras flash is quite tricky
especially with shooting macro stuff, so many things
can go wrong or right and when it goes right it's so freakin'
awesome.
No question in photography is weird ...anymore these days.
When using your camera flash try these tips and
hopefully they'll work for you too.
1. Use a reflective surface like a CD to bounce your flash's lighting off of.
2. You could use regular cooking foil and funnel the flash down to your macro subject.
3. Use a silver or stainless steel bowl to reflect the lighting.
4. You could also use a mirror to reflect your cameras flash.
(By the way you can use all of these objects to bounce your LED Flashlight's light off of too.)
All of these really help a lot, I use a lot of reflective surfaces
when shooting water drops on anything.
Sometimes I use two or three different light sources
and up to three different reflective surfaces to get
my water drop photos to really stand out in lighting them
and in creating multiple colour variations.
You can ask send me as many notes as you need to,
it won't bother me at all, and I will do my best to
answer them all in a timely and orderly fashion.
Your very, very, very, welcome!!!
