This time, with the upper part of the PET-bottles, covered with toilet paper ... For lighting used two Jansjö LED-lamps.
Home studio stack of 77 shots (1,6 s, F 5, ISO 160) and last shot 8 s, F 11, ISO 160 with MP-E 65 and Canon EOS 40D, stacked in Zerene Stacker.
Mine diffuser for canon macro flash MT-24EX represent combinacion of diffuser's made by @Dalantech (www.flickr.com/photos/dalantech/), @SteB1 (www.flickr.com/photos/9578475@N02/) and @OrionMystery (www.flickr.com/photos/orionmystery/).
I used JJC-FC-26U Flash Diffuser + Gary Fong Puffer (hot glued them together), vellum paper - bubble wrap "sandwich" and plastic holder (cut from the 0,5l Coca Cola bottle).
This video is about diffusing light for macro photography, photomacrography, micro photography.

I was not particularly happy these days because, I could not shoot for many days, for my daily routine used to take away all my time. After I got to know what suits me, I am enjoying every moment of it. The drive back home through the mad Delhi rush takes 2 hrs and I utilise it to contemplate my shots and conceive new set up and lighting.
Today was the 5th day, when I was working on the same subject….a set of toothpaste and brushes and experimenting with table lamp lights, thermocols, stools, card boards, bottles, Mug, clips, pins white cloth etc., all these being a part of the accessories I need to set up my table top. These accessories are needed to hang the back ground, the thrmocol sheets stand against the jug and the bottles, the table lamps sit on the stool, white cloth make my diffusers, …. and so on. And yes, the thermocol sheets play the role of reflectors.
Deep in my heart, I knew it was not all that good. The glass did not have proper edges, to show the complete body and curves. The glass had not been exposed properly. A few links in Flickr inspired me to work again on the same subject. It all helped me to emulate my own results and the ones I had seen on the net.
This time I got rid of the toothpaste and brushes and concentrated only on the glass. And finally captured Dark edges and curves of the glass. When I saw the edges missing in the body of the glass, then I made up my mind to first shoot and correct my lighting for glass photography.
This is a very simple, but very effective diffuser I have used for a most of the images taken with the 100mm macro lens you see on my Photostream this year. I was intending to write it up but haven't got round to it. These photos describe it.
Forest, captured during a foggy day. The sun rays were penetrating the roof of the forest creating this special moody atmosphere.
In the park on last weekend, I looked for a slit the sunlight passing through between leaves for a long time. Finally I found good ray.
たまにはこういうのを探すとすごく熱中できます。楽しかった。

Portrait of a friend in Tampa at sunset on top of the building where she works. She wanted to "do something" so I let her play the role of 'chatty girl with phone'. This was made at the end of a day learning about using one light to make interestingly lit portraits. I had to take several to get her look right - she's picky that way.
Also, got the adjacent building's 'uplight' coming around through her hair for a touch of kicker.
A diffuse arc of aurora to the south as the waxing gibbous Moon rises amid cloud, from along the coast of Norway, November 9, 2024. The Moon is casting a glitter path on the water. Altair is at upper right.
This is a 2-second exposure with the Nikkor 20mm lens at f/1.8 on he Nikon Z6III at ISO 1600.
a DIY Macro diffuser thats been a better idea than my other card one lol, its a thin white plastic bowl, i cut a hole in the bottom and the Raynox lens holds it tightly in place.
Cheap too.
Just got my Sigma 500 super dg flash back from repair (started behaving oddly after about 30000 shots) which meant I have two flashes ,two camera bodies,2 macro lenses but only one flash bracket. So decided to try and do a diffuser for a camera mounted flash gun with the aim of diffusing the light plus reducing the amount of power used in each flash (for quick cycle times). Did my normal plastic milk bottle, duct tape, aluminium foil, kitchen towel quick and dirty job. Much to my suprise seems to have achieved both objectives :)
This pic was taken using it www.flickr.com/photos/lordv/201692732/ This is a difficult subject because of the white petals and normally the nose cone on these will "blow" with non- diffused light.
DIY diffuser made from cut to fit coffee can lid :)
Works great and did I mention It's Free ;)

"I am creating the illusion of diffused lighting in the setting of this painting by placing the well-lit character (that is saturated in color) in a darker room. Mars black is a relatively opaque color that will give good coverage on a white canvas, another option is ivory black." ~Tomitheos
STEP 3
Diffused lighting occurs when the light is filtered, this can be achieved in the painting's setting by softening the shadows, darkening the colors, and by eliminating stark contrasts..

Here I did change the camera setup, but only the shutter speed, to compensate for a bit less light due to diffusers.
The key areas are marked with arrows:
- strong shadows
- light source reflections
- strong contrasts
Both pictures are a bit edited this time.
I am finished with testing. I hope you find these three pictures useful. Please share your thoughts and alternative methods if you've got any.
