I solved my problem with wind and harsh light in flower photos. Instead, on my way to tests at St. Marks Hospital, I took shots of the flowers under the canopy on the walk to the new main entrance. In that this is on the leeward side of the hospital, conditions were perfect.
Other than other patients and visitors wondering why this old man was bending and kneeling in front of the flowers, things went well.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.
Nice photos, Mike. I have a 12" diffuser (folds to a 4" circle) that is clipped to my bag all the time. It won't help with the wind, but it is great for mellowing harsh light. Using it requires shooting one handed, but that's compensated for by using a higher shutter speed, but it really gives a nice, glowing, mellow light.
