Superb diffusion. Wonderful images

That is an area I reallly do need to work on. My highlights are always blown on the shiny bugs and eyes. I take it you're using pure white Vellum paper Denis?

thank you Ian.
it,s a never ending learning curve to try to get the diffusion right,and I don't think we are ever completely happy with the results.spider eyes,ladybeetles,and ants are perfect test subjects.i still blow those tiny metallic beetles most of the time.:)
I,m using vellum,but added a layer of paper towel to it,and it really softened the lighting more.i think it,s the best and cheapest diffusion material out there.
