That looks like some sort of monstrous insect found only in Ausrtralia.

Looks promising for the insect shots Scott.
But might be a bit difficult to control the reflections on the pen shots, but if anyone can sort it out I have confidence in you to do it

I do have ideas, but now to make it practicable at a macro level.

Reflections are controlled I think.

 

[Scott Murray]

I have the idea

 

[Ironwood]

Would you expect anything less lol

That would be a NO

 

[analoguey01]

I like that any shot! Nicely done!

 

[Scott Murray]

That would be a NO

I already have an idea in place that can utilise the twin flash unit, the DCR-250 and the Venus 60mm 2:1 Macro. I wonder what results will become from that.

@Ironwood here is another very simple version.

I think you nearly have it there Scott, but the reflection looks sort of smudged, I take it that we are seeing the actual diffuser reflected on the pen.

You are seeing two lights diffused in a manner onto a cylindrical foam object.

Looks good to me

Thanks for posting that shot, I was about to ask for a shot so I could see how big the rig was on camera. Looks like you are getting a handle on it.


I agree, why kill when you can preserve with photography.

It looks like you need to balance the third eye (flash) with the other two. This rig is very intriguing.

That ain't a camera and flash................. That is an alien pretending to be a camera! Lol wow what a rig buddy! That ant shot is awesome!

Now this stuff looks quite promising. *off to google the cost*

 

[SkvLTD]

Sooo, it's kind of pricey in a way, but also extremely tempting at the same time..... I think I'll still focus on a 2x TC, then a 20mm/2.8 first.

Btw [MENTION=9753]Scott Murray[/MENTION], can you take a sample portrait or standard shot to showcase this rig's capability for standard application?

I will see what I can do, not sure about its portrait ability due to it being a macro set up.

 

[SkvLTD]

Typically it needs to be at least as bright as a standard flash, so I figured based on that.

Well I went to use my twin flash system tonight and it went bang, kind of still works but only when it wants too. So I have gone back to my trusty SB910 and Luminox diffuser. One issue from purchasing from overseas is warranty, I am going to try and claim it but not holding my breath.
