Of course I had just got the new diffusers from EBay, and I was just testing it out when the first bee actually stopped on my flowers, and the shots were underexposed. But it is cute on the flower :lol:

Thank you both, very much appreciated :cool:

I have the MT24-ex and this diffuser.

I have had a chance to play with it and hope I have everything set up a little better for next time.

Thank you Terry, Ishrani, Denis, Dennis and Brian, much appreciated.

Denis, I saw your link to the diffusers, and as your pictures are better than mine, I thought that following your lead would not hurt

With the Sto-fens on the light does look OK, but I need to get used to the new rig.
