Getting this right will mean when I’m shooting people I’ll get it right then too. All of these were shot at ISO 100 with exposure stopped down one or two stops and then fill flash at about 1/4 intensity. I used the LumiQuest 80-20 with the white reflector and no diffuser.
The apples are getting big! I should be able to start harvesting them soon. I hope my co-workers are in the mood for Granny Smiths!
I hope they like grapes too. The vine always gives us far more than we can eat ourselves.
This ant was working the nectar . . .
Out front the bees were going at it.







Nice series, been meaning to try something line it myself.

The lighting class I took really helped in that regard. Up until then I was terrified of it!
