Setup # 2 (earlier version)
Nogales, Santa Cruz County, Arizona, USA
September 3, 2018
This setup is working better for me. It's easier to handle and provides adequate light diffusion except in extreme cases (a shiny black beetle for example). I used two paper binder clips to hold the screen. The velcro strips glued to the flash heads are there to attach additional diffusers, but I seldom use those.
