Description
This was the first real field test of my new diffuser design, and I'm really happy with the way it turned out. These Scarlet Lilly Beetles practically have a clear coat on that shell -extremely reflective.

Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F16, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (3x) + a diffused MT-24EX (flash head "A" set as the key and "B" as the fill). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.

Technique: I found this critter late in the day and it was pretty lethargic. I held the grass stem that it was on in front of an artificial flower and rested the lens on that same had to keep the scene steady.
