I have been trying to sort out the lighting in my photos for a while now. Playing around with a few setups to try and reduce the harsh highlights in my macro photos so far has not worked. Recently i discovered the amazing work of a macro photographer called Matt Cole and he kindly shows you on his site how to make a nice simple d.i.y flash diffuser so i thought id give it a try.
The diffuser was pretty simple to make and looks something like this;
After building it i quickly nipped in the garden for ten minutes to test it and was really pleased with the soft light it created and minimal highlights!
A few more tweaks and trials and i think il have some flashed light im happy with . For more D.I.Y diffuser s check here on another intresting blog post i found there are loads of setups to look at.
