I have used the skewers awhile but recently with a new diffuser, stuffed it with those large clear packing bubbles that came with some new equipment. Works well and I haven't broken one yet. Did break a skewer once, a bit of a problem.
Thanks Don. I'm going to give that a try.

Did you put them on all four sides or just the long sides?

I got this idea from someone else.
Get some wooden skewers and slide them into the seams at the corners of the diffuser.

Thanks Rick. I was thinking there might be some kind of metal insert I could leave in the diffuser, but I haven't been able to find anything. I may give this a shot. Bill

How do you get the sides of the diffuser to stay rigid when it's on the speedlight? Mine collapses inward which I think would distort the light coming from the flash. Seems there should be some mechanism that is inserted into the diffuser to support the sides? Here's a like that shows the diffuser with the sides supported. https://fotodioxpro.com/collections/light-modifiers/products/sb-fldbl-6x9

I'm about to schedule my second cataract surgery. Had the first done about 3 years ago and can't wait for the next one. The difference is sometimes hard to believe. The first was to my "focusing" eye and my pictures definitely improved. I had to adjust the diopter, but other than that I didn't change a thing with my equipment.

Hi Ratgman,
You're right, No. 5 was at Viera Wetlands, No. 1 was at Gatorland, No. 2 was at Ft Myers Beach, No. 3 was at Myakka River State Park, and No. 4 was at Circle B Bar Reserve near Lakeland.
Hope that helps.

Thanks Don. Only place I have not explored is Gatorland. Perhaps I'll correct that before I head back to PA in early April. Love Circle B Bar Reserve and Ft. Myers Beach. I think Myakka has been a little disappointing in the last couple of years. Viera has so much water there are no mudflats, so no birds that populate them.

Nice set!! Care to share the locations? Guessing that the GBH family in #5 was Viera?
