I wanted a little softer light for hand held close up shots with on camera flash. At the recent Intense Macrophotography Workshop, Brian Loflin was using embroidery hoops with photographic diffuser cloth. I made some too, but mounted this 6 inch hoop on the lens hood of the E18-135 with elastic velcro. A small L-bracket is attached to the hoop with a machine screw. The diffuser adds very little weight to the Sony A6500 and Godox TT350S flash, and it works nicely close up. Photographed with Sony A7II and FE90/2.8 with Godox TT685S and a similar 9 inch diffuser. This photo is a 15 image Helicon stack.

This was the first time using a 37" Goxdox octagon softbox that was double diffused. Shot this inside my den at home. Used a smoke layer in post and added a hint of cool tones to the smoke. Vignette added in On1 Effects 10 and all else edited in Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom CC.

A couple of weeks ago I went on a photowalk in Barcelona with a Lensbaby 45mm. It is a difficult lens to focus but the results are surprising. One part in focus and the rest soft and diffused. It's a fun lens.
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). .
I have not been out shooting for some time, just can't take the heat this summer! Trying to rekindle my excitement about getting out now that it's beginning to cool off. I thought editing this oldie would get the fire going.

Description: Here is another Vertorama from Saturday morning’s misty sunrise. It’s not nearly as dramatic as the first one that I processed from that morning, but in my opinion the soft diffused light and gorgeous pastel dawn colours easily make up for it.
Gosh, this D300 takes incredibly beautiful photographs!! Just look at the detail and clarity in those foreground pebbles… too gorgeous for words!!

A while back, I received these containers of crushed red pepper with a pizza. I was going to combine them into one, larger container when I spilled one of them. Instead of getting ticked off, I noticed how cool it looked in the diffused winter light coming in through the window.
I picked up my camera, made a few exposures, and then cleaned up, happy that I had my shot for today.
