Macro Flash in the field: Soft Box diffuser or Sto-fen Diffuser
I'm about to embark on a 3 year mission of photographing all the wildflower species in Rocky Mountain National Park for a private project.
My current set up is a wimberley head, with wimberley macro flash arm, Nikon SB-600 with sto-fen white diffuser accompanied by my D300 with a Sigma 150mm f2.8 with cable release, and a 22 inch diffuser disk to bounce natural light to help fill in shadows.
I've notice a lot of folks posting great macro's using a soft box, and I wonder how a soft box flash set up would differ in appearance from a flash with a standard sto-fen diffuser. Would a soft box about 3x6 produce more even lighting?
