Went to New Zealand with my landscape hat on but took my 100mm just in case. Unfortunately, no bracket nor diffuser packed.
So here I was holding my flash with a wireless trigger attached in one hand, with my camera rain jacket serving as diffuser, and my camera in the other hand.
The challenge: to shoot a constantly moving bumble bee.

I had hoped to get at least one success. Patience was rewarded with quite a few. Here is a sample

Great shots, you did well, they are tough to get still at the best of times.
