      Thanks Ferdy! I was a bit disappointed with this session because I forgot to use my reflector to illuminate the heads of the insects. But, am glad the results weren't as bad as I feared they would be. Posted 3 years ago

        Now that you mention it, the illumination is slightly centered, the head being somewhat darker, but it's barely noticeable. Posted 3 years ago

          Thankfully, I only shot 4 bugs in this session. Posted 3 years ago
