Banded Demoiselle porn

Banded Demoiselles have been on my hit liost for a long time now. Have hardly ever seen one, but a few weeks ago I was told about a local spot where they had been seen. Well I found the spot. And sure enough, the Banded Demoiselles are there. Love these little creatures, and was fortunate enough to spot this couple going at it;

Got more shots of Banded Demoiselles on their own, but need to process them still. I'll also keep going back to get the 'perfect shot'.

Thanks. Yeah, I love the way they have formed that shape as well.

I used my usual combo of my D300 and Sigma 150mm f2.8 Macro lens. Im also playing with my DIY macro flash diffuser now as well;

Hehe, looking good! I took my inspiration from loads of different designs found on the internet. I then scetched up some plans and went all blue peter with the card and ductape. This is just a prototype though. The next version will be a lot ligther and more adaptable.

Cheers. Hehe, I got more funny looks by crawling through the undergrowth looking for the bugglies.

Out of interest, what diffusion medium are you using across the front of the tube?

For this prototype im using Lee spun diffuser sheets. Its like a really flat and thin wool designed for diffusing studio lights. When I remake it im going to make several diffuser filters as we also have several grades of Lee frost sheets.

Yep it's worth experimenting, Lee/panalux filter number 216 and 251 are probsbly best for use as diffusion, they use tons of the stuff when shooting stuff for TV programs.

Very helpful; thanks.

I tend to use Rosco stuff in my otherlife as a thatre techie, but I might nip along to Stage Electrics and see what I can get hold of.... Lee 216 (or the equivalent Rosco E-colour 216) looks a good first shot, rather than a half- or full tough spun.

Would certainly be interested in a follow-up post with your findings as you try different media, if you'd be so kind?
