Here are some of the shots I took yesterday. I have some problems with hots spots, do Flash brackets help in removing hot spots? my current setup is a Speed light with a diffuser on top of my camera, or Do i need a better diffuser?, or i have to change the angle of my diffuser?:dunno

Nice captures.
Bright reflections from bugs such as ladybirds are very hard to avoid with any setup. A properly diffused flash should help stop them blowing. A bracket might help but you need to find an angle between the lens ladybird and flash where the flash reflection is not reflected back into the camera lens and that is not easy.

Ok lord Vetinary... thanks for the info and the comment... I'll try to borrow some brackets on my next shoot if I can at least try to remove the hot spots and if I can manage to learn how to use it properly, and ill try to to study about properly diffusing the light that my speed light fires........

God BLess Sir....

it is not easy to avoid those reflection .. i use bracket + stofen + styrofoam plate

which still produce reflection .... but i did some dodge and burn to reduce further .. e.g. recently
