Walk the Line
Ladybirds are still plentiful in the fields near the bayou, so I’m using the abundance to fine tune my diffuser setup. I ordered another segment for my Wimberley macro arm so I can attach the the arm on the right side of the camera and still have access to the shutter button. New setup is nice - nothing in the way of accessing the focus ring. I can rotate my diffuser to either side of the lens, before the addition, diffuser placement was limited to the left side or almost directly over the lens. With the new range of motion I am able to adjust diffuser placement to best suit the angle I want to photograph versus adjusting my angle of approach or rotating the camera to best suit the subject. So far so good and I hope the ladybirds are abundant for a few more weeks so I can work out the potential kinks with the new rig.
