I have made some changes to my set-up.
These photos were taken with my Nikon 105 VR with a Hoya HD CPL filter, Yongnou flash with my homemade snoot/diffuser, and after looking at the link [MENTION=37727]Bourbon Neat[/MENTION] put up in his thread ( http://nikonites.com/macro/31745-macro-mark-berkery.html#axzz3gDlplQap ) , I have taken an idea I saw in one photo , I used a piece of foam with a rubber band around the lens to hold it in place. This gives a double diffusion of the flash.
Until I put this 2nd diffuser on the end of the lens, I have never been happy with the Yongnou and snoot/diffuser, the photos never looked right, I think now I will use this rig more often. Its a bit cumbersome, but I will get used to it.
