You have many beautiful subject to capture. But the beauty of your photos is more than that. Even when your subject is not particularly attractive (like in #4), you are able to make a photo which is exceptionally beautiful.

These are incredible. Thanks for sharing.
I'd love to see your DIY diffuser. It looks interesting.

Excellent series Hayath

Yes, very lucky to live in this part of the world. The biodiversity round the year is special.
The transitional stages make for interesting observations and images indeed

This two-stage diffuser on the canon setup should give you a fair idea of the setup - Scaled down for the Olympus system

Thanks a ton, Brian!

Stunning work Hayath.

I had assumed as most of your shots have black backgrounds you normally shoot at night but these were taken in the morning so I presume you deliberately go for this look so the subject stands out?

I'd love to have ambient light register in the BG. However, I like to crop and have the most detail possible - end up shooting at Low ISO (native 200)
Unless the subject happens to be in an open field, most of the times the exposure setting I use ends up with dark/black BG.

Plus I also like the isolation attribute of the black background

Photo 5 is awesome.

Wow, great shots, thank you vor sharing
