Today's shot for my hi-key series for July was problematic in that Carole wouldn't let me pick the subject from the garden and last nights storm didn't flatten it. So it left me no choice but to take the equipment to the subject.
Big lens and camera sat on the patio so it didn't damage the flowers. Connected the camera to my iPhone app (can be used to download photographs and, in this case, remote shoot - you see the camera image on the iPhone). Grabbed a piece of white card and put it behind the flower. Waited for sun to come out and 'voila.'
I then very quickly realised I needed to tear the white card almost in two to get it either side of the flower stem, moving the card and flower around until it was where I wanted it in the viewfinder and then it really was, Voila!!
Happy wife - happy life ;) Nice to have your flower still blooming beautiful in your garden. Clever and creative idea to pull off another fantastic high key shot. Well done!
“Carole wouldn’t let me….” Believe me, if he really wanted to, he would have! Anyway it worked out not too bad & demonstrated the perils of an uncontrollable light source!
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Didn’t have enough hands. Thought about it, but was happy with the first results and decided didn’t need it (and had a scheduled Teams call I needed to be on)
