When I do yard work I like to keep my camera nearby in case insects and spiders show up. And they always do. Yesterday I got pics of a Karsch's purseweb spider exuvium, a persimmon psyllid, a tulip-tree beauty, an olique-banded leafroller, and a common Eupithecia larva. #nature #gardening #photography #insects #spiders #MacroPhotography

@xris In related news, I tend to do yard work very slowly.

Bugs always slow me down.

@colinpurrington aight I gotta ask about your diffusers cause they are similar to but different from my own. I've got the heads aimed back into the cup, lined with mylar foil. How do you like yours? I find I have to boost the flashes up to 1/16 or 1/8 pretty regularly

@spiderdaynightlive I'm not happy with my diffusers but I've only had them for a few days so maybe I'll learn how to set them up better. And the flash itself is new to me as of July. Currently need full power in many instances. Could be a result of bad lining. I used metal tape that seemed perfect but perhaps not so much. Also, I have the flashhead going into bottom of diffuser (cheese container), so that's maybe the wrong thing to do. Finally, my diffuser plastic might be too thick. Using some leftover Gary Fong diffusers.
