Having an off day... or week kinda. But, this thing is cute. I need to shove my camera in the dirt more. I actually shook the dirt off this leaf to find this springtail

Borrowing a flash head from a friend and made a simple and compact bounce diffuser. I like a lot of the results from today, but not amazing for shiny stuff. I'm a bit envious of some of the macro photographers that are happy with a diffuser they bought off the internet.
