Thanks!! No, just the Sigma 105 and getting in as close as possible at 1:1. Also used a simple office envelope a diffuser for my flash, which works surprisingly well! View attachment 983
Me neither, just tried this and got lucky! Not someting I would carry with me outside though...Is that your sigma has IS?
About diffuser we can discuss here
Homemade diffuser
Hi. How you make own diffuser at home, what materials , design and how long takes to make on ?macroderie.com
I still haven't build one, idk yet how. Hope to get some advice from professionals

And yes the Sigma has IS, but I used a tripod in this case and remote trigger, so didn't really need it.
It helps definately! But it still can't beat a tripod. The only thing is, a tripod reduces your ability to move around and change composition dramatically. That's where IS comes in and also flash helps "freeze" motion.
