I made a new diffuser last night as I wanted something bigger than my 3x5 I'm currently using. The results are an opening of 5x8 and with the length...much bigger than I expected. It was VERY difficult to maneuver and I kept smacking bushes and trees with it when trying to shoot at near 2:1. However, the light from it is incredible....so much softer than the smaller one. I'm going to remake a 5x7 tonight that doesn't come out as far so I can have some wiggle room on positioning it.
The setup
I only had about 5 minutes (getting dark fast) to test it out last night but seemed to find plenty of bug activity. Here's just a few samples. I'm amazed at how well this does on the beetles reflective shell versus my smaller softbox.
Approx 2:1 of a very small buckeye
Shedding (?) Crab Spider (approx 2-3mm)
Such soft light here
