It's been ages - Sigma 105 + Godox Twin Flash
p.1 #1It's been ages - Sigma 105 + Godox Twin Flash
I haven't shot macro in ages... the grasshoppers are in full force this year and I thought it might be fun to dust off the macro lens and flash and chase some insects around. 
All the images are full res ... click on the flckr link to see all the details.
I'm pretty rusty, be gentle, I need to chase the bugs more often, I forgot how much I enjoyed it.
Just some snaps... enjoy the day all.

Excellent shots. Other than a few small hot spots, the flash has had a very nice natural impact on the scene. The work of the flash is barely visible which is a testimony to its great performance.
I recently got the Godox MF12 twin flash. Today for the first time I took out it with me. I was using the Sigma 100-400mm lens + Canon 500D close-up filter. I found the weight of the flash at the end of the lens (at 200-300mm range) was pressuring my hands and wrists. I just got back and haven't downloaded the photos yet. On another note, I have a Laowa 180mm macro lens on order. It is a much lighter lens than the Sigma tele zoom. I can't wait to try that combo. I am sure the weight will be much less stressful.
