Thanks mate he is a nice looking mantis..wouldn't mind some orchids at a later date either..

Well after Macro junkies comment I looked into the lumiquest and will deffo be getting next week..thought I would try using a bounce card to tame the flash some and quite pleased..its no softbox but it certainly helped..

Cheers for that mate.. I must admit had looked at the soft box but the sto-fen gets rave reviews..have you compared both side by side? Do you use the lumiquest? By the way nice pic..does look a tad soft though..what macro lens do you use?

I use a sb600 nikon speedlite,thinking of getting the sto-fen..cheers everyone else for the comments..

What diffuser do you use?..I was going for a sto-fen...got any samples of your diffused images?

:rolleyes: No just playing...

Thanks Chris..cheers Matthew..had a feeling he was male B)

:D Thought I would get some pics after its recent moult..tried some different lighting effects as well..

:( Sorry to hear that mate

Yes mate real pleased with it..make great models too!! All taken with tamron 90mm macro. This one looks like a light was shone on it but just an accident but liked it none the less..

£10....

I just saw him in the local reptile shop..he had this one and the giant asian so I had both.
