Iduna Posted July 29, 2013 Share #1  Posted July 29, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) this is a further sample from my new illumination project. On sunday it was warm but overcast and at 7 p.m there was already a touch of dusk settling in. o a grey and dull atmosphere. And this light was being mixed with the flash.  Canon 5D MKII + Elmarit R 60 mm macro+handheld flash bounced against a reflector from almost below the blossom.   Welcome, dear visitor!

JuanLeon Posted July 29, 2013 Share #2 Â Posted July 29, 2013 Great work Iduna, the lighting really makes the flower pop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted July 29, 2013 Share #3 Â Posted July 29, 2013 Attractive rendering. Flash has added a degree of hardness. Why not avoid flash and use ambient lighting? I sometimes hold a simple reflector to fill in shadow areas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iduna Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share #6  Posted July 30, 2013 Juan, thanks for liking the light and writing a nice comment  David, many thanks for looking into the technique. You are right, there is some sort a harsh touch. These flowers are also a bit solid, so it might be a match. The was no light but fading dul grey daylight and a bit slight gush of wind - so in order to get it sharp there was at least 1/10o shutterspeed neccessary. but for more daylight of course, you are certainly right. Next time...  Paul, I am delighted that you write so nice and always dedicated reviews. It is very much appreciated.  Stuart, thanks for looking and comment.

platypus Posted July 31, 2013 Share #8 Â Posted July 31, 2013 Another lovely flower portrait! I particularly like the fact that you take your flower photographs where they (the flowers) live and not in a studio setup, you are battling the elements, weather and light, which always makes it more interesting and adds to the degree of technical difficulty involved in creating the shot.

albert Posted July 31, 2013 Share #9 Â Posted July 31, 2013 iduna' Â I used to always do this. It is fun to be that connected to with the flower. You have done a very good job of connecting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-hawinkler Posted July 31, 2013 Share #10 Â Posted July 31, 2013 Iduna, Â Absolutely gorgeous! I love the deep richness of the magnificient colors. Great light. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iduna Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share #11 Â Posted July 31, 2013 Karl, Â I am so glad you like it Thanks. Â Dee, many thanks for your detailed review. It encourages me to pursue this technique further. Is is my intention to emphasize the beauty of what natures gives us and to ive it thus a slight tehatrical stage. Â Al, Â this is interesting. You are absolutely right: it is fun! And this is what I would like to bring out: to show nature's beauty in this mix of available light and give it a frame b artiicial light. It is this being "connected" that you mentioned. Â K.-H, thanks for your emotional response. And this richness of colors and depth you can only get if Leica lenses are being used. They are capable of letting you interpret what you see. I also have a fine Canon lens 50 mm but are now going to look for a Summicron R lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
