Macro rig for Olympus OM-1, 90mm macro and STF-8

The STF-8 does not come with an adapter ring for the Olympus 90mm macro (effective 180mm.) I have come up with one solution. The flash heads can mount on 1/4 inch threads. The Platypod  goosenecks have those. The base is a Platypod Max. It can be mounted on a tripod as it has a threaded hole, or you can add a release plate.

This might even be better than a flash ring as you can position the heads in many more positions. A pair of tiny Smallrig ball heads gives great flexibility in light positions.

One improvement might be a long mount on the lens for back and forth movement.

Led lights or other flash units will work well also. I will try my cube Led lights soon.

Anyone have suggestions or comments?

Photoshop background removal tool

I tried the background removal tool on this image...

Its built in masking was used on the hummingbird (select subject) and then inverted to constrain the removal to the flower stem. It worked well!

Adobe Lightroom Lens blur beta tool

The new lens blur (beta) tool is awesome.

Here it is in action.

Tweaked settings and mask

So it's not masking well on butterfly and does strange things to finer details such as legs and antenna. I wonder why it does not use masks I have created.
