Canon T2i with the 100mm f/5-2.8 Macro
Nov 17, 2014 13:37:28 #
I'm posting another Penny 1/200 sec f/16 ISO 200 settings only with the Canon T2i with the 100mm f/5-2.8 Macro.
Flash is the Canon 430EX II on ETTL auto, 4x6" softbox white cloth. Don't know anything about Manual Settings yet.
Doing some alternative lighting techniques to cut down the glare on the high points.
I know the f numbers are reversed but it's true.
More shots of Acorn and Rock to follow.

Eventually you will learn to use your speedlight in Manual, just as you learned Manual with your camera. To my knowledge, all of us use Manual speedlight, and most of us set flash output at 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, or full power, depending on subject color and Working Distance. Experimenting with a tripod, varying only your manual speedlight output is the quickest way to learn approximate starting point for illumination. Flash is the Canon 430EX II on ETTL auto, 4x6" softbox white cloth. Don't know anything about Manual Settings yet.
In the field, I take one speedlight photo, immediately view image on my camera LCD screen, adjust speedlight, and repeat. It will become second nature to you.

The distance of your SB is from your subject will play a big role in power/duration requirements as well as subjects background color. Experimenting and practicing are key. One setting does not work for all situations.

With your set-up similar to your penny table-top, start with 1/8 power, then check your LCD to see if image looks close to proper exposure. You should be able to increase (+) or decrease (-) your flash output by 1/3-stops.

This stands extremely well all on its own. All three renditions are good but you started out with a really nice shot.
Doing well quickly Craig.
