Thank you, grgh, Mike, Lou, Rik and Chris for the kind comments. Much appreciated
The nymphs in #1 are apparently Psyllids (planthopper). Was fascinating to watch those bubble butts
Rik - I've learnt so much from the open sharing of knowledge, including this awesome forum. Always glad to pay it forward (the only way to be thankful)
Here's the basic layout...the first stage to "diffuse and spread" light and the second "shield/concave diffuser" to catch the light to direct it around the subject. The ideal subject location would be in between the virtual "dome"

Chris - Pretty happy with the way this is working out, it goes through some tuning from time-to-time

Thanks much, Walter.WalterD wrote:Hayath,
Excellent set, the first picture is really amazing. And thanks for sharing your technique!
The forum and the open sharing of knowledge has helped me (and countless others) immensely. Pleasure's all mine sharing the setup inspired by many big-hearted photographers
