p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Criter mix


First two are from the archives, and in both I was experimenting with the light. I was trying something new with the angle of the flash heads in the first one, and I'm really on the fence about it (I think it's the background that I don't like more than anything else).

Bait two honeybees into feeding on a flower, slowly walk over to a picnic table where I have a 320EX (slaved off of the MT-24EX) set to fire into a vinyl table cloth that has a floral pattern on it (to keep the background from being dark), delete a lot of frames where the antenna completely blow the composition...

A recent frame just using the MT-24EX and a shiny book cover for the background:

Actually #1 and #2 were scorched

#1 because of the angle between the flash heads and that white face, and #2 because 3 light sources are a PITA to control in a tight space. Next time I shoot with a flash slaved off of the MT-24EX I'll set them both to -1/3 FEC. I do like how the light brought out the hair on the honeybees (especially around the eyes). Always working on the light it seems -it has such a huge impact on the final image.

In spite of the long hiatus, you've not lost your touch, John. Excellent, as always.
