I took my macro lens and ring flash out for another practice session yesterday and found there are more flowers blooming in my yard than I had realized. I particularly liked these.
Thanks so much for your incredible response to my foggy dock shots of yesterday and the day before. I so appreciate your visits, comments, suggestions, favs

really nice crisp shot....how did you get the black background..?

[Jane Pittenger]

@sticksandstones using the ring flash

[jenny tucker]

@jgpittenger oh okay......I read "ring flash"....but I guess I just don't know what that even is. I'll have to look it up!

[Jane Pittenger]

@sticksandstones it's a flash that connects on the end of your lens...macro in this case...that only sheds light very close to the end of the lens so everything behind the subject goes dark

[jenny tucker]

@jgpittenger sounds very cool.....and it looks like good quality flash.....like it didn't blow out the subject like a regular flash would!

[Hope D Jennings]

Just gorgeous!Love the lighting and the details against the dark backround.beautiful

[Jane Pittenger]

@mzzhope @sticksandstones the trick is having it shed enough light! Doesn't work like a regular flash at all

[Dawn Moder]
