Practice, practice, practice. I have to continue to practice. There is a saying that goes, "Practice makes Perfect" however in fact, continued practice makes "permanent".

Practicing while doing something wrong over and over is ingraining. A golfer that has a flaw in the why that they drive the ball will continue to do so until they train themselves to make a change for the better.

Today was a nice day to get a bit of practice with the rig that I plan to use this season on my walkabouts. This series of the Better Half's flowers was taken with the flash set at 1/32-second diffused through vellum tracing paper DIY diffuser mounted on the end of the lens. The camera is a Nikon Z6 and the lens is a Nikon 200mm f/4D macro set at f/20 with a shutter speed of 1/120 second. Ambient light was sunny at the flower bed.

The series appears to be quite abstract which I found them to be while looking through the lens.
