No reason why I chose to poke around in the late evenings to near darkness for the last few weeks, except to see how well I could get with "Creative Diffusion" lighting with a full on board flash.

I chose the simple grass hopper as they seem to be stupid while you get up close and personal as long as you don't move to quickly and are easy to find. Least ways these guys just sat there and let me experiment instead of leaping about like they like to do in the day time.

While I'm not a particular fan of these leaping harvesters of Doom, I can appreciate the heavy Armour that they wear.

Here are a few results...........

Can't recall If I posted one or two of them here, if so, my applogies.

Approximately 15 layers of folded plastic white grocery bags taped over the flash.

May need a few more layers.
