I started off with ambient light and then experimented with bounced flash and then fill-flash. I had decided to pick the best shots without considering the type of lighting I had used. And strangely, I picked every shot, barring one, that was shot with only ambient light. (I looked at the EXIF data only after I'd picked the shots for today's post).
Moral of the story: I still have a very long way to go before I'm able to use flash with satisfactory results.
90mm, Aperture Priority, no flash, ISO 200, 0.4s, f/9.0
90 mm, Aperture Priority, Flashed at -2 stops, external flash powered at 1/8, held above camera, IS0 200, 0.6s, f/20.0
I'm not sure what it is about it, but I LOVE that first picture!
ReplyDeleteI never use my flash on my camera. Just never really like unless I want a very strange picture.
ReplyDeleteYou ask about more poems, right now I'm busy with capturing the fall colors. However next time you go to my blog. On the left side under the calender there's categories area. You'll see Poetry, click on that and that will show you all the posts that deals with poetry. Most of them have poems, the others I just talk about poetry.
That should you keep you busy until I post the new ones.
