Paul, I know you posted how you have your flash diffused, but I don't get it! could you post a photo of it? I'm only at IKEA levels in terms of assembly manuals! :rolleyes:

OK.

The first move is the protective foam packaging that covers the edge of shower screens which you should be able to get from a hardware store:

Then from a polystyrene party plate cut two C shaped pieces, and also two C shaped pieces from a plastic supermarket milk bottle (the opaque bottles) but tidy them up before use of course, to the size just large enough to cover the tubes areas of the ring flash:

Once all that is done, attach the shower screen foam around the outside of the ring flash, and once that is held in place by plenty of strong adhesuve tape, and push the 4 pieces of cut outs underneath this foam. More cutouts can be used if the diffusion is not enough:

Beneath the Alien...

Well, not really an alien.

It's a drain fly or a moth fly, whichever you might call it.

Anyway - it might look a bit like outer space in brown, but that is actually marks on the outside of the double glazed window in the back door - and I cloned a few of the biggest ones out!!!

In the original, the fly was facing downwards, but I rotated it and pointed it to the right to give better composition.

This is 2 images stacked, although I took 5, but adding in any of the other three created more artefacts that detracted from the finished stacking process.

The Venus lens was set at f/5.6 in AV mode, and held against the double glazed window glass, with a 31mm extension tube and 1.4x TC.

Exif: f/5.6, 0.6sec, ISO 160.
