Flower Macro Support

[PKCool]

Hello.

Need some advice.. I enjoy taking macro pictures of flowers. I've seen this item used of. It a extended clamp that is used to support a flower for macro shooting preventing the flower moving in a breeze.

Would also like to know the name of the manufacturer if possible or place to purchase such item?

Is anyone able to help?

Many thanks in advance.

Another option is one of those clear plastic storage boxes with a hole cut in it so you can poke your lens through.....a bit like a wee, portable greenhouse.

It should act as a giant diffuser on the sun (depending upon how opaque the plastic is) although will likely result in longer shutter speeds as you'll lose some light. Not that longer shutter speeds are likely to be much of an issue if the subject is still and the camera on a tripod....long exposure noise reduction might be handy though (I think most DSLRs these days will do it automatically unless you switch it off ).
