[QUOTE="Silversnapper, post: 832924, member: 52909"] This topic is especially interesting for me as I'm still trying to come to terms with my shaky hands and an acute lack of bugs of any description therefore any tips and other into I can pick up is more than welcome. I am practising with the homemade diffuser you commented on here [URL]https://nikonites.com/forum/threads/godox-v860ii-n-ttl-flash.49268/page-2[/URL] and my current settings are with the Godox 685 in manual mode at 1/128th power, camera on manual; SS at 1/250th and aperture f8 - f11; the subjects being any inanimate object up to 5mm in size. It's rather a frustrating exercise but I am seeing better camera control the more I practise. I went out last week on a whim to try out my new gizmo - a Raynox 250 but, annoyingly, I forgot to put my Sigma 105mm macro lens back on :mad: see here: [URL]https://nikonites.com/forum/threads/silversnappers-happy-snaps.49037/[/URL] I didn't take the flash and diffuser with me as it was brilliant sunshine and I was rather pleased to get those images. We are supposed to be getting a bout of very wet and windy weather so I guess the local bugs aren't going to be in a hurry to venture out again so it will be back to shooting apple, grape and other fruit pips for practise.
