Hi,
Haven't shot much macro while I play with my new lens, but I did have the chance to shoot some macro a couple of weeks ago to test a diffuser which I made recently. Here is a spider I shot at a botanical park on day of shooting at Daylesford, Victoria. Hope you like it.
Here are some pictures of my new prototype of homemade curved diffuser for my brand new cobra flash Godox V350o.
Still have some little modifications to apply but I'm pretty satisfied by the look of it.
easily assembled at site and with LED lights for night macro, fits into camera bag and can be used with most flash with test shot of Jumping Spider in my washroom ~ f/8, 1/250 sec, ISO 100, 90mm focal length, spot metering and with 1/16 flash

found a little screen from my son's drawer and decided to try making a diffuser {i am yet to own one} since all my macro shots are always too harsh and subject too bright n shinning - woks basically and can even shoot at f/22 at 1/4 flash power

My homemade diffuser is completely removable thanks to the press studs which allow the different elements to be fixed between them. I added a thin layer of foam on the last diffuser to increase the diffusion because the light was still a little too hard. The cost of the whole diffuser is about...
