 I have a D3100 and I am using it with a Sigma 105mm Macro lems. I want to take pics of insects primarily. I was advised to get an external flash to help me light up the subjects. At the moment I get reasonable shots (see my gallery) using ambient light only.

The question is this: how do I make the camera fire the flash even if it thinks it is not needed? I am shooting in "P" mode. I am looking for a setting like the one on a mobile phone where you can force the flash to fire every time.

Also, am I going about the Macro route correctly? I see there are also LED Macro rings available but the reviews aren't great. Any comments on LED rings?
