Day 173 - Rose of Sharon

Day 173 Setup Shot

So I thought I was done shooting flowers too, but I had a busy afternoon and the 95 degree day pushed my dog walk to 10 p.m. I had planed a still life shot, but found this Rose of Sharon Bloom on the side of the road. The setup above is how I take 90 percent of my flower shots.

I usually strap a smaller flash light to the flash head when working after dark, but tonight I used this light which is pointing at the ground in the setup. Simply aim the light at the flower, focus, recompose flash and shoot. Tomorrow I promise to offer you something more than another flower shot.

until then,
enjoy

    1. SU-4 is a mode in which a built in sensor triggers the flash when another flash fires. In this case I used the built-in pop-up flash to trigger the handheld flash, and I had the pop-up flash set to its lowest power setting of 1/128th. Sorry for not being clear in the post
