Flower Photography with Black Background using On Camera Flash ep.152 

Thanks! I try.

Glad to help!

I appreciate that! Thanks.

Thank you!

@@RobTrek I tried out this tutorial yesterday. I'm really pleased with the results. Thank you.

@@StephanieChitty Thanks for letting me know. Always nice to hear when things go well.

You're very welcome!

You're too kind. Thanks.

Sorry I could not spell excellent. I still think your videos are the best. Love my Olympus EM10 MK II.

Thanks. Got it. Hope I can remember.

That's great!

Thanks, Mark.

Thanks. I'll try and think of more ways to use the in camera flash. Honestly, this was my first time trying in camera for this kind of photography. But since someone asked about using only the in camera flash, thought I 'd try. After a little practice, got decent results.

Thanks. Let me know how it works out.

Thanks. Working on hss now. Pretty much the same thing, just faster shutter speeds.

Thanks. Will start working on it.

Thank you for the kind feedback. Much appreciated!

I'm so happy these basic techniques are working. Remember it's just a starting point. Thanks!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you!

Glad to help. Thanks.

Thanks. Easy stuff.

Glad it was helpful!

Haha! Actually wish I never had to leave the house, but places to go, things to do. Fuji has been on my radar for as long as I've been shooting. The xh-1 is still tempting me at the current price.

@@RobTrek Before buying the Fuji X-T2 I rented and tested a few digital cameras and they all produced great image quality (keeping in mind that I don’t do any professional work). I was a film shooter for many years and the only reason that I decided to go with Fuji was the form factor, without turning on the camera I can see my iso, aperture and shutter speed (just like my Nikon film cameras). I didn’t see the need to go for a full frame camera, I do like to print as large as 20” X 30” and the image that I get from this APSC sensor is great (for me).

The top dials are definitely a strong suit of Fuji. I like the main grip on the xh1 and the top lcd.

@@RobTrek I would go for the X-H1 (nice features) if I was interested in video (which I’m not), I have yet to shoot video on my X-T2, I only use it for stills.

Awesome! Thanks for the update.

Glad to help, Lucy. Thanks.

Thanks. Been at it for 2+ years now. I gets easier over time.

Thanks. Nice to know I still have a few things to share.

Thanks. Simple, lightweight (vs external recorder), and effective. A little awkward for some shots and glare can be an issue.

Thanks. Shooting in the rain is always a risk, just I got lucky. No, I don't use a screen protector. Suppose it wouldn't hurt. My eyes are so bad I can't see the scratches anyway.

Yes. Thanks.

Thanks. You would save them into a myset. Check one of my older videos here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k5AqXNaUG44.html

Do you have the em10-mark ii? If so, just push the fn2 button near the shutter button. It should come up.

Basically we are asking the camera to not do what it wants to do - correct the exposure. I want the camera's exposure fixed so all I have to do is adjust the flash power. If iso changes, it affects how bright or dark the flash looks in the picture so it will be harder to control the final image. In bright light, the auto iso will only go down to 200. Also, in lower light like a cloudy day, it may go over 200.

Thank you! I know nothing about flowers.
