Need some advice. I am currently using diffuser cap with my flash for insect macro. But I find the output way too harsh for this purpose.
Any macro kung fu master got a tip to share on how to diffuse the light for a soft look on tiny creatures?

Thanks all. A4 paper and tissue paper sounds so easy and practical.
The Olympus E3 responds very strangely to dialing down. The images becomes underexposed and very harsh. I have not had time to sit down and test various combinations, but diffusing the flash by bounce works well. Unfortunately, you can't bounce in the forest.
I don't mind buying a ring flash. I am just afraid the results won't be much different from a well placed unit. Do you have any experience and find ring flashes work better for little objects?
Thanks a lot DCA. I am trying to find more information between ring and twin flash. Surprising dry on that subject around here. I guess a purpose designed flash will yield better results.
My macro light setup is either Sigma Ring flash (2 tube) or Nikon SB600 on macro flash bracket. If need, extra slave flash will be deploy too.
Different situation, it will need different light setup.
At a start, don't invest on a macro flash, just start with a external flash and learn how to balance the flash output vs the natural light.
actually wanted to ask what is a macro flash bracket, haha, google it instead
