bill33 Posted July 10, 2018 Share #903 Posted July 10, 2018 Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words! Dear Zampelis, how do you manage your flashlight ? It looks like a lot of your pictures are beautifull because of the way you manage light. Can you share ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zampelis Posted July 10, 2018 Share #904 Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Dear Zampelis, how do you manage your flashlight ? It looks like a lot of your pictures are beautifull because of the way you manage light. Can you share ? Hello Bill, Thank you for your comment. I use a piece of paper glued with some blutak as a diffuser on an ex-bicycle cheap flashlight. I am not using it on most of the photos, but when I use it on some (e.g. the poppy stem, ladybug and posts 888 and 890) I try for the result to be very subtle. I tend to hold it with my left hand and take the shot with the right, and experiment with the distance of the light by reviewing the result on the screen. I am also doing manual white balancing every time I am shooting a flower using a white balancing card.

Leica Guy Posted July 10, 2018 Share #913 Posted July 10, 2018 Great shot Dan! I love your white balance, such fabulous colours and also so sharp! Did you use flash on this one? I did. I used my Canon EX-14 ring flash, a tripod and the Hoya 10X screw on filter. I had to use everything just to get in the same room as you. I LOVE your images. :-) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think maybe I used the wrong tool/link...? I uploaded it to the gallery here (quite a bit larger resolution, I think 3000px) and inserted it here via "My Media" link. I'll try it again next time that I have something to post. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

creidtaylor Posted July 12, 2018 Share #919 Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) This is the Sala tree from the legend of the Buddha. His mother held onto a branch when he was born, and he died between two of these trees. It's great being able to quickly shift into macro mode for a single shot. I've learned to stop down a bit, this f/5.6, and still get nice separation from the background. Sala tree flower, Wat Faham, Chiang Mai, Thailand by C.
