Off camera flash
Nov 9, 2014 16:34:10 #
Today for the first time, I used my Yognuo 560 III off camera with two NF603N triggers, to add light where I wanted it, and avoid frightening insects and bashing into foliage.
All I need now is a third hand with a longer arm and the ability to multitask.
I found holding the weight of the camera in one hand a bit tiring after a while and difficult to keep steady but I think practice will sort that out.
Also needed is care with distance from subject, I had the habit of being too close and overexposing. But here are 3 of the results.

An update on my now amber coloured sap. Not so pretty now it is darker.

Yes, too far cropped, but taken at 1:1 mag. I cropped-out the OoF parts. I could try isolating some pollen sprigs on a plain sepal background. Thanks Douglass, more practice tomorrow.Looks like significant cropping involved. Beware of pixelation. Exif of image #1
