No 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 were in the daytime with speedlight Yonguo 560 III and 6x8-inch softbox diffuser. Nos. 5 and 7 were taken by camera flash by the back door in the dark without time for speedlight set up.

It is not easy is it, manipulating camera and speedlight in tight spaces and close up? Insects fidget and pupae hide themselves away in awkward places. What a challenge.

These show a big improvement to be sure. The new SL/diffuser seems to be serving you well.
Great job :thumbup: :wink:
