Really nice pictures. Thank you!

Outstanding! What were you shooting?

Certainly the episode on Anand Varna and his innovative way of telling stories about macro subjects. Amazing!

Not sure where to post this, but I came across an excellent series on Disney+ from National Geographic called “Photographer”. Not technically underwater related although the first episode certainly touches on it in addition to conservation. Nat Geo Photographer

@Mike Saunders Better luck tomorrow!

Mike, Thanks! It makes sense that the ring light would falloff pretty quickly with distance. How did your experiment supplementing with strobes go? Did you use the ring light in strobe mode?

Thank you for sharing. What fantastic, and creepy, creatures!

This is fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing! Looking forward to meeting and hopefully working with Simon in July!

Pics?

That’s what I’m currently using. Just wondered if making the HF-1 more neutral on its own might make it easier to use.

@waso thanks this is kinda what I had in mind.

Bummer! Sorry for your loss!

Dave, Thanks. The balance on my whole rig is fine, but I would like to leave my clamps a little looser to more easily reposition them and have them stay. My thought is that if I could make the strobes a little more neutral I could could reduce the clamping force. I looked at the HF-1s today and am rethinking--instead of foam all the way around which might make positioning the strobe close to the port, maybe a block of foam bolted to the HF-1 using the mounting screws for the ball mount? I need to do some calculations, but I'm thinking 3/4" thick by 3" x 6" should be close to a 1/2 pound positive. Evan
