I didn't like the reflections in the eyes of my jumping spiders from the ringlight so I got a commercial diffuser to use with my regular flash. It's a great improvement from the ringlight once I figured out where to position it. I still need to experiment with a way to further soften it. The diffuser is round with a rectanglar opening in one end to attach to the flash. Perhaps I can stuff it with tissue paper or put a piece of translucent material over the flash head. Jumpers are a real challenge to photograph, but alot of fun!

Very eye catching and creepy at the same time.
