Ciao Dmo, grazie per il passaggio e il commento.
Ho usato un flash Nikon sb700 con diffusore originale (non il massimo in termini di resa) e un LED aggiuntivo.
Per lo sfondo ho utilizzato una vaschetta delle mozzarelle (bianco lucido, anche qui non proprio ideale) con 1-2 cm di acqua per evitare che i peli e le antenne aderissero al corpo dell'insetto (questo set fotografico è lo stesso utilizzato per tutte le foto di macroinvertebrati d'acqua dolce di questa galleria). L'animale è stato scattato da vivo.
Non ho l'attrezzatura adeguata per fare foto ambientate a questi animali, quindi ho ripiegato verso questo tipo di foto più didattiche.
Lo sfondo bianco uniforme, risalta la morfologia di questi insetti a differenza di un substrato naturale.
Ci sarebbero tante accortezze ancora da sviluppare (un diffusore a tronco di cono, un filtro polarizzato...), per ora mi accontento di questi risultati... in futuro vedrò di acquistare accessori aggiuntivi.
