Both are single images taken in studio. MPE-65 and MT-24EX. Thanks for viewing!

Exceptionally tasty. So much so I wonder if you would share the tech specs and your diffusion set up?
Brilliant species as well. Very enjoyable to see, really fantastic jumpers!
Cheers

Excellent shots of beautiful jumpers. How are you using your MT-24EX to avoid the tell-tale twin lights? I get the same light pattern from a single diffuser. Did you use them side by side or completely separated?
cheers,
peter

Thanks for the comments guys.

On the diffuser-- it is a concave diffuser based off of the design Orionmystery blogged about years ago. I have sto fen diffusers on the flash heads with diffusion paper placed inside the sto fens for good measure. Between them and the lens is a tent made up of some diffusion paper stapled between two sheets of packing material. The packing material is great because you can pull it back whenever you get in too close. I keep the tent it in place with gaffer tape on the sides. I jam the diffusers together as close as I can get them and point the heads straight down. Hope that helps (picture below).

Your diffusion photo goes a long way to explain how hard it is to diffuse those nasty little MT-24EX flash heads. Flash power versus size I reckon they win hands down. So well done on your result.

Those shots are amazing! I have the 65 mp-e yet haven't had time to play with it yet. Are these images stacked?

Terrence they are so clean and prime specimens. Maybe a contender for another avatar is here.
Excellent work.
