Paul 2,613 Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 Ladybirds are THE biggest challenge for me with flash. Today's attempt sees my diffusion covers with an additional sheet of Vellum paper between the lens and flash heads... Had the YN24EX in ETTL +2/3EV, camera 1/200sec, f/11, ISO 160, Venus 2:1 macro lens on the Canon EOS 70D. 2 Quote Link to post

Vital to their survival of course. Looking at a LB they do appear smooth but when you see more it quickly becomes apparent they are not. On LB's they are actually a hardened wing (didn't know until I researched it)... Paul. Quote Link to post
