Awesome! Makes me want to play with my macro lens more... what was your lighting setup?

Thanks, Tevo. I use a canon 270ex and DIY Concave Diffuser.

My Concave Diffuser for the MPE65 and MT-24EX. Simplest one i've ever DIYed but gives the best light ever.

I have adapted this for my 60mm F2 macro lens too. Same concept, just bigger - longer, wider! Tends to get in the way, I know, but I am willing to put up with that to get the light I want.
