Testing a new type of flash diffuser i thought of while sipping on inebriating deliciousness (Gets the creative juices flowing). Added a partial hemispherical diffuser to the front, current design is a bit clunky but i will work from this one to make it better.

So without further adieu i bring to you...

1. One of the tiniest critters i never thought i'd capture

3.Aside from the hot spot on the body i'm stupid proud of this shot, kinda threw composition out the window but i was more focused on lighting here.

Thanks everyone appreciate it

As far as sharing the set up, once i finalize it and make it look a little more presentable i'd be willing to share, as it sits now the word atrocious comes to mind when looking at it :oops:

I like the diffusion, but I think the angle might be a little too top down.

Thanks for the input, i'm working off the pop up flash so options are a tad limited but i will take this into consideration when remaking the current design
