Control The Light
Jun 20, 2019 18:32:00 #
Got home from a long ride to the city and back to handle some business. Went out in the yard to feed the birds, take some pictures and have a couple of beers.. The light was unspectacular so I put a flash with extender on the camera. I like to shoot multiple frame rates so I put the flash on 1/16 power after some trial and error. I think it paid off. The beer didn't hurt either.

That is a spectacular image! I'm thinking the beer was the secret ingredient.

Great shot. When bowling or throwing darts around here, beer is referred to as "aiming fluid". Must work for photography, too!
