Work in Progress - _TNY_8689
I'm in the process of rebuilding my flash diffuser and have reached a beta stage for the new version where I think I have the form down, but need to try it out to verify it works both with the normal lens and with the MP-E65mm - including the MP-E at 1:1 mag where it is around 100 mm in length all the way out to 5:1 where the length of the lens is around 250 mm which moves the point which needs to be lit quite significantly.
With autumn already here, the selection of models to shoot this way is rapidly disappearing in Stockholm Sweden as everything is preparing for winter but I found this female marmalade hoverfly (Episyrphus balteatus) which posed helpfully on a yellow flower. I like the diffusion from this one (this is at 2:1 mag), but perhaps I should've set the flash to have slightly more power?
