Going thru my stuff from last year.i have a few of this swan,thought I'd throw it up cos I'm taking pure shite shots lately.
I must clarify how i took this because in the past people have doubted it's authenticity.I had the camera set up just for the sunset when this swan came over cos they are used to people feding them bread.Anyway,after many attemp[ts to get low and get his silhouette agaisnt the setting sun,i simply popped up the on board flash and started shooting.i thought it would freak him pout but he stayed and i eventually got this and a couple of other ok ones.he did try and bite me in the face at one stage though,they seem farther away when you are on your belly looking thru a wide angle :- )
More Bumblebee shots they are pretty reliable for my test shots, got the flash about right now, have a couple of cheap puffer diffusers coming which should just finish it off quite nicely, assuming I can work out how to mount them LOL.
YONGNUO YN24EX with home made diffusers, Raynox DCR-250, handheld.
Fixed the noted problems

Hand held speed light set to slave, red color gel on strobe for background and soft box on strobe camera right for fill...
slight light room edits for cropping, highlights and contrast....
After processing, the delicate gold inflorescence with flash is breathtaking, preserving details. Just for comparison, I have included the same White-Chested Emerald without flash, again almost a different bird in appearance. Without the flash the namesake emerald colors predominate. I hope this drives home the point that you need to take photographs both with and without flash to fully represent any particular bird species.
I made this about a week and a half ago. I was saving it (more out of laziness than anything) but I wanted to upload something, so....
It's been so long since I've uploaded a picture to Flickr, I almost forgot how! I hope all my Flickr pals are doing well!

So if you haven't noticed yet I recently deleted my Flash I posted on Friday. The reason for that is that I want to properly start a new Flash series, (With origin story, etc.) So I am planning out a new Flash series (Even thought the last series was like 1 issue) I hope you understand. New Flash series coming soon! Probably mid/end of this week maybe delayed to next weekend.

Trying to figure out how flashes work. Using my old 5d classic here. It's actually fun to use, not gonna lie... Follow me on instagram. www.instagram.com/demosrovas/
Inspired by some of my friends flash work, I thought i would spend some time practising. It was selfie time!!!
I was playing with two light set ups. Although I couldn't take this to the street, it will be workable in a modified format.
The key light is camera right in a soft box and a rogue flashbender diffusion panel to get some double diffusion going on. It is at 1/4 power. I have a black board camera left next to me and facing the light to add some shadow to the left hand side of my face (my walls are cream coloured and very close and I was getting too much reflection).
I have got a second flash in a diffusion cap and with a brown gel on it bouncing off the ceiling (I went for brown to match the wood colour of the environment). I have also blocked it from hitting me with a foam board. Power is at 1/8th and this was acting as a light for the background and some general fill.
I used my relatively crappy Nikon D3100 to have something to focus on and to add something else to the picture. I haven't quite got it focused on my eyes but for a selfie it will do.
There was very little done in lightroom, I think I mainly increased the contrast. In photoshop I reduced the hotspot on my forehead, sharpened the image, desaturated a little and increased the blues in the shadows in colour balance.
Quite happy with how it turned out, given the terrible model who had no dress sense and was terrible at being directed :-)
Both flahses were Nissin Di866 v2
