Its Blinding
The title is definitely clickbait and exaggerating, because although the species that I have today is super reflecting and shines so brightly it is not as blinding as the sun, but still gives me a hard time to edit, because It is hard to keep the shine look nice when I want to turn the surrounding with the certain look.
The species that I have today is this small beetle that might be responsible for all the holes that I found on the leaves in the small area when I did the photowalk recently.
After a little bit of research, I found out that this beetle might be a member of the leaf beetle or the Chrysomelidae, but for the species this little guy might be the species of Chrysolina herbacea or Chrysolina coerulans although both of them are native to the European.
I really love the shiny color of its body, it makes this beetle look so beautiful.
Here you can see how it try to fool me by pretending to be dead, laid its body upside down and almost perfectly still for a very short time. and then when it think that the situation is safe, it will get back up, and will fly away directly fleeing from the scene.

Yeah they are so hard to edit. Do you stack your images... I love how they look.. What tipe of Diffuser do you use??
thank you very much my friend, I am happy that you like it.

no, I mostly do single shots photo because it is quite hard to stack, and also my gear is not really god for it, especially my flash.
I am using a locally made diffuser, kind like a DIY one, which resemble the cygnushtech diffuser.
something like this
