While attaching the spent clematis bloom to the Wimberly plamp, I would look at the different angles and the light coming through the spent bloom to find a potential comp that I liked.
I saw what I thought was a speck of sand or pollen on one of the leftover strands of the clematis. When I positioned the tripod and macro slider along with the macro lens and 50mm reversed, I noticed that it was this little guy I was looking at. Shooting this from the living room and late day light coming through the window, I was able to position the spent bloom to where I got the light to play throughout like I wanted, or what was most pleasing to the eye without much glare from the filaments. Then, I simply got a mirror and attached it to another plamp to get some light or spotlight from the other side on to the insect. I do take it that this is some sort of aphid, ....................... I think! I could not move the camera & lens any closer than this.
