This was just a fun little 30 minute shoot. 4k, 18-50 zoom. Lit with a cheap LED headlamp. It was Shot on Orcas Island, WA.

I shot it hand held because I didn't have a sandbag and even if I did, the sandbag would have smelled really bad afterwards...

Can anyone recommend a better portable lighting solution for macro work. I was thinking about getting a Brute 6 to run off of my extra battery plate, but I was concerned about multiple shadows having it so close to the subjects.
