Great shots, Ollie!



I notice that you get nice natural looking shots with a flash and the Lambency diffuser. Do you mount the flash on the camera, or on a bracket? I've got a Lambency diffuser, but have never used it.

Thanks Pauline and Wayne. I was very fortunate to find a male Wayne as Emeralds are not common at Messingham. Never saw a male at all at Messingham last year.
