p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Toadflax Brocade Larvae Part 2


Because of the rarity and photogenic qualities of the subject, and its capture on a rare and special lens, I am taking the unusual step of devoting a second topic to it, this time with the last four images shot with my updated, triple flash setup.

The first topic, and details of the subject and hardware, are here:

Thanks, Ron

My two little flashes are supposed to switch off after 15 minutes if not fired, but they seem to take more frequent breaks. Otherwise, the issue is keeping the liens aimed steadily and focused accurately for long enough.

One permanent difficulty is that the working distance is from 150mm (6 inches) to 400mm over its useful magnification range, 210mm at 1:1 at the sensor, = 2:1 with m4/3 crop. It is a bit like using a Super-Telephoto.

Thanks, Kurt.

Yes that pose is a bit special.

I was struggling to use the lens/lighting combo yesterday without further support, with a subject at head height, but the lighting and magnification it offers at a range of magnifications means I will be using it when I can.
