This video is about diffusing light for macro photography, photomacrography, micro 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.
After shooting out in the cool spring air of Lund's Botanical Gardens in March my lens fogged up in the warm, humid air of the glasshouse. Rather than letting this stop shooting I carried on with the fog acting as a kind of soft-focus filter.
Hello everyone! I am a new club member and thought I would post one of my recent photos as a way of introduction. If you check out my Flickr page you will see that I shoot 99% in Black & White. This is a direct carryover from many years of shooting and processing small, medium and (occasionally) large format B&W film. I've only been shooting digital for about a year now and love it (what took me so long?). I do minimal post-production and try to limit adjustments to those things that could be easily done in a traditional darkroom, with the most notable exception being some noise reduction and perspective control.
This particular shot was taken at the Cleveland public library. I liked the frosted glass on the door so took a picture. Then someone walked by on the other side and thought that would make a great shot. Fortunately I only had to wait about 15 minutes for the person to walk by again.
Anyway, looking forward to meeting everyone in person!
This describes a bit the experience of the Goma fire ritual performed by the monks of the Muryokoin, a Shingon Temple and Shukubo in Koyasan. It started at 6.00, which was only possible due to the jet-lag. I did like that the head priest and owner of the Sukubo leading the ritual later sat with us during breakfast, explaining the ceremony and answering all our questions.
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.
Had a nice foggy morning while in Edmonton last weekend so I got up early and looked for a shot like this. There were a few opportunities for it but this one had the light post under it that I liked. Not an easy shot to get.... took a TON of different exposures and settled on this one. A little bit of saturation and contrast boost on PS and here we are!
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..

An 18-panel mosaic image of the constellation Cygnus covers 22x14 degrees of sky. Total exposure time ~120h.
Image is in mapped colors
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.

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.
Flickr contact earthwaterfireair's photos inspired me on this one. She is constantly pushing her creative side.
A little mist was hanging in the trees while hiking on Fromme. It didn't matter which way or trail we chose, the exploring was fun.
