Congratulations @nikonbill

One plant died, one survived. Hmm ..... ..... I wonder if it's a Ficus Elastica (Rubber Plant)? :unsure:

A few shots with the D810 and the Sigma 105mm macro on my afternoon walk. My shaky hands problems is proving a bit of a challenge with close-ups.

The body is the Pringles tube shown in post #13 and painted with some old blackboard paint, the 'head' is the circa 2005 commercial version, top right, in post #29 and the whole thing is secured to the flash with a strip of Velcro type tape.

Until I'm satisfied that I can cope with my shaky hands problem, I have finalised this version of my Q&D flash diffuser. I have also cut out a couple of pieces of lightweight white plastic to 1) attach under the lens with double-sided 'tacky tape' to act as a bottom fill-in reflector and 2) a...
