Foliage with flash

In April 2020, as we were in lockdown, I tried to renew my approach of garden subjects by shooting available foliage and flowers in macro, but handheld and lit with a flash to freeze any movement as may have been caused by the breeze.

 

Thus, I placed one of my Phottix Pro Mitros+ cobra flashes (connected to a Godox PB960 battery pack) on a Manfrotto Nano stand and brought that with me as I walked around the bushes and alleys. On the camera was a Phottix Pro Odin II flash controller, which allowed me to set and trigger the flash remotely, without any cable, and that setup worked very well, from a technical standpoint, as the radio range is, I think, more than 100 meters and doesn’t care about walls or other obstacles as a line-of-sight infrared communication link would.

 

From an artistic standpoint, this new approach gave me some interesting results, I think. I will upload the dozen shots or so over the next few days, you can always let me know what you think in the comments... Thanks in advance!
