Water Drops / Dews on the Web

During a macro outing recently， I have taken some water dews on spider web.

Botanical Garden Putrajaya

Taman Botani Putrajaya is located at Precinct 1, Putrajaya. It is established on a 230 acres of agricultural land.

It is as an oasis in the middle of a city that can give you some refreshing feels.

Let me showcase here some of the macro images taken during my last visit on 11 August 2011.

My Latest Macro Flash Diffuser

I would like to share with you all of my latest custom made flash diffuser for my macro photography. This new version is fully detachable for easy storage and carriage, make it suitable to be carried around in your camera backpack or luggage.You can simply reassemble it in minutes.

This design has minimum light lost but produces good diffused light with faster flash recycle times and longer battery duration. I have even fired 3 shots continuously and yet still produced decent images.

How does it looks like?
Here you go!

The new version is adopted my previous horse shoe shape design, which can deliver better diffused flash light to reach the bottom portion. A additional diffuse layer in front is to further spread the diffused light evenly onto the subject.

How is the results?
Here you go!

My SB900 was set on auto mode. All images are straight from camera RAW and with standard settings via ACR, resized and sharpened.

i-TTL with setting of 1/200, f11.
