I tried to de-flash the impact of the flash by blocking it with a cardboard. However, I used tissue paper as it was flashing my eyes. The focal zoom was at the 100s as I wanted to zoom in to fit the subject into the frame while maintaining the notion not to let the flash overpower the image in exposure.
Location: Somewhere in Europe. I think it's Switzerland.

I know, it's boring. I'm just noting progress for myself.

I thought that was supposed to be in the metadata if you shot Manual :-(

Description:Diffused Flash
Diffuse Lighting—Studio: [one image] Explore diffuse lighting in the green screen space, using one of the photo backdrops (white, black or grey) with your charged object.
Here is a quick test shot (SOOC) using the new DIY diffuser posted earlier.
The left image is using just the 430EX II with a Stofen diffuser fitted.
The right image is using both the stofen diffuser and also the DIY diffuser mounted to the lens.
The noticeable differences are the strong shadow under the subject and also the flash hotspots on the top edge.
Seems pretty reasonable to me. Will have to test it outside tomorrow if the weather improves.

Oh by the way the subject is a mealworm at 2.5x lifesize ;-)
