Todays pic to show the Ladybird has settled in to its new home.
Once again taken with 55mm AIS Macro, 14mm tube and 2 x converter.
The attached pic is full frame. Lens to subject distance is about 2 inches, so once again it is outside the ability of the diy ringflash. Reaslistic minimum lens to subject distance with the current diy ringflash is around 5 inches. Not that I could have got that to the subject anyway. The Ladybird is well inside the plant so even using the Metz and diffuser bowl off the camera, it was a tricky job getting light to it through the branches/foliage.
Next project is to look at is a reduced ringflash bowl depth to overcome this problem, as I do not have a 105mm macro to give improved lens to subject distance.
