Good evening everyone
Most of you would know that back in June-July I was in South America and I spent the first few weeks in Ecuador, whilst I was there I did a flash photography course with Nate Chappel from www.trogontours.net http://www.trogontours.net/ What this course does is mainly photograph Hummingbirds by using a setup, which is done by pinning a painting on a clipboard behind the feeder and then arranging up to 7 flashes around the feeder with one of them focused on the background. As the bird gets used to coming into the feeder it is then replaced by a flower hanging down from a clip and drenched with sugar water, then as the bird comes into focus your own flash sets off the others to give you a no shadow photograph and also because of the flash setup your aperture can be set at f22 and your speed at around 350th of a second as the flash freezes the subject including the wings. Some people like it and some people do not and I am one of the latter, as I like most of my shots natural and as you can see there is a mixture of both in my recent photo’s. I have also posted the last lot of photos from my trip up North and as usual here is the link http://barraimaging.com.au/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=lastup http://barraimaging.com.au/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=lastup&cat=0 &cat=0
Kindest Regards to you all
