AKocot Diffuser v1.0
After several months of trials and searching for materials, I have my own macro diffuser, adapted to the set, which in my opinion gives excellent results:
📷 Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II
⚪️ M.Zuiko 60mm f/2.8
⚪️ Raynox DCR-250
⚡️ Godox V350O
🔦 Iluminator - rechargeable LED lamp
Now we are waiting for spring... We will see what photos will be produced using these materials, I have high hopes for it, but life will test them.
I carried out a very thorough analysis of the materials, shape, size and structure of the reflector (reflector), shape, size and thickness of the diffusion surface (diffuser) - to obtain the most optimal light distribution on the photographed objects. The purpose of using the diffuser is to maximize the quality of light, obtain a very soft light distribution on objects combined with minimizing the use of lamp power (no burn-outs, reflections on shiny surfaces), the possibility of using high aperture values f (f/5.6 ... f/13) at relatively low lamp power, optimizing the distribution of shadows under photographed objects ("destroying" a strong shadow by shaping the angles of light from the flash), minimizing the ISO value to the native level (maximizing tonal dynamics) - in my opinion, the proper distribution of shadow is an extremely important element of the composition.
The diffuser also includes a rechargeable LED lamp to facilitate focusing (pre-illumination of the photographed object). .
