So i was able to get a flash head extender thingo off ebay and tried it out on my left flash head which i already have a bigger home job diffuser on it.

The results look pleasing i think. Its hard to tell becuase its hard to recreate most shots and compare due to different background etc, but i think the light is softer and the picture stands out a bit more.

Hello all. These are my best from the last few months. All with 5D and sigma 150 macro at apertures from f/2.8 to f/16. Processed form RAW to TIFF using DPP, then finished in PS.

























All matter is energy condensed to a slower vibration,
And we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively.
Death is an illusion,
Life is a dream,
And we are the imagination of ourselves.
 
Hi Gautam, the mosquitoes continue! 7D/MPE65/MT24Ex, Exif preserved.

Now for some Mansonia uniformis; you can see a mite attached on the neck.









Kind regards
Stephen
 
Very nice Fabiab, the flash extender certainly removes those harsh catch lights. Do you have an ebay link for these?

Kind regards
Stephen
 
The same Green Darner from last weeks thread, just two different views. The late day sun peaked through the trees for the last shot before it flew off. 100 L and tripod used.

If you can't make sense, go make nonsense. It's better than no sense at all.
 
Nice work on these jumping spiders. My favorite is #5.
 
Nice job on these. #s 2 and 3 stand out.
 
These were taken with Canon 100mm f/2.8
