On Claribel Road in the eastern hillsides of Stanislaus County, California grow thousands of acres of grapes. Mostly the foliage turns brown and falls. This particular area stood out. Beautifully colored vines some with grapes still hanging. Varietal wines no doubt. This region is dominated by the winery of Ernest and Julio Galleo.
Testing 1-2-3- iPhone 11 ProMax. Night mode in unlit bathroom.
I tried to place the blurred lights coming from the neighbor across the street, but could not hand hold the 1 second exposure that high up. I stood in the doorway with a lamp light in the bedroom.
Next time I’ll try standing at right angles to the window, to allow the window frame to dictate the dimensions.
Incidentally, those are sunflowers, but they are a faded pink with brown centers. This is the ONLY spot in the house where they work. The big YELLOW ones are on the dining room table, with plenty of light and yellow walls. I don’t like artificial flowers, but could not afford to buy bunches of the real thing, so these are used/hidden seasonally.
I know this is not a good photo. A good photographer would have deleted swiftly. But I am not a real photographer. Good or othewise. I am a witness and I see things. I wanted to see how much it could make visible, or document physical objects, in not total blackness, but.....I see what Paul Ewing is doing with his iPhone 11 Pro Max and I know it can be very creative and a good artistic tool.

Winner - Gold 2012 Promax BDA ANZ "Channel Brand of the Year"
LifeStyle Food is Australia's only television channel dedicated to food- showcasing the very best chefs and cooks from around the world 24 hours a day. My aim when rebranding LifeStyle Food was to combine the aspirational imagery of modern food photography with a tangible, hand-made graphic aesthetic to create an dynamic brand identity that is both desirable and comforting.

For hopefully better flash photography I just bought the Lumiquest Promax system and an off-camera TTL flash cable.
Installed alone on your flash, with the flash pointing straight up, 80% of the light bounces off the ceiling and 20% is sent straight toward the subject for fill and to add catchlights to the eyes.
Then there are inserts: a white insert sends all the light toward the subject, but from a bigger, more diffuse apparent source than the flash alone. A silver metallic insert is designed to give more specular highlights, and a gold metallic insert is designed to warm up the light. It also came with a large soft white diffuser that fits over the front of the whole mess for the softest light.
The construction and quality seem first rate, and it comes with a handy wallet to hold everything.
I intend to use it as directed, but also with the flash facing forward, so that light is bounced directly down, onto macro subjects.
The off-camera flash cable is also for macro work, at least until I get a bracket for the camera.
We'll see how well it all works soon.
Here's a little demo of what the LumiQuest 80-20 does. Its purpose is to direct 20% of the flash output on to the subject while bouncing the light off the ceiling. Viewing large on black would help see the differences more clearly.
The photo of Jinx on the left is taken with the 80-20. You can see the difference in Jinx's eyes, mouth and its name tag is readable.
The photo on the right is taken only using a ceiling bounce, with the exact same flash and camera settings. You can see that ceiling bounce causes shadows under the head and recesses like where the name tag is, because the light from the ceiling can't reach there.
Yowza!
