Link to any more weed shots? I lived in Humboldt for a bunch of years and had PLENTY of opportunity to photograph it, but was before I got into photography so I just have some 25 yr old shots I took of a grow closet with a disposable camera lol. We have medical in PA so I have opportunity to shoot buds that have already been cured and packaged, but that has virtually no interest for me. I wish I had access to fresh buds/plants still. Beautiful shot. I do like the rim lighting.

What is that big globe made from? Ive seen ping pong balls for high mag shots but you have a beach ball sized ping pong ball

The lighting globes are acrylic household light globes, usually used as hanging or flush mounted lighting, available at Home Depot, Amazon, etc. The one pictured is 8", I also have a 12" that I use for work around 1:1.

I have a custom machined aluminum mounting ring, but you can easily make one from a flush mount light globe fixture.
