Guardian of the future (Vellum diffuser)

Paul Iddon

This little lady (Candy stripe) has her eggs safely tucked away underneath the handle on top of our recycling bin, but the rain still gets in a bit. Mind you, it doesn't stop the occasional stray springtail popping by for a visit!

Using this sheet of vellum seems to help quite a bit - only the shiny subjects clearly show the 2 ring lights a lot - and I have found that if the vellum flattens out it doesn't work as well, so it needs to be in a soft curve across the front of the flash. I have also modified the way I have it attached above the lens - I bought for £7.99 a magnetic mobile phone holder which is black (tidier than the silver arm I had) and it is lighter and easier to angle if I need to.
