where is the reflection …

we are keep looking for possible angle to get the reflection but too bad we fail to capture it ….

... looking for reflection ...

by the way … how many of us .. actually know it is a black and white while we shooting or convert it after it do not look good on the computer screen ?  … and we should know what/how we edit our picture before press the shutter ….?

the pillow …

How many of you still sleep with pillow ? 😀 I need pillow to sleep well 😀 , think the lizard have the same feeling too

... where is my pillow ...

 

 

one of my favorite MACRO model – Tiger Beetle

I love to capture this beetle but too bad this beetle is skittish/shy .. and not easy to get close so have a closer shot .. so most of the shots I use SIGMA150 instead my MP-E65

1. the green one .. and most difficult to get close

… tiger beetle …

... how to design diffuser for reflection object ...

 

... stacking .. pictures ...

some time .. it is just the moment and luck

I want and love to capture a lightning picture for long .. but I just have no luck so far .. even able to capture 1-2 strike (small or thin) one …

and it is not difficult to capture the lightning .. but it is as simple as how I shoot star

but we need the luck as it is not too much lightning will happen at close spot here …. as below picture, I was rushing for a project and saw the lighting non stop striking so I drove to near by place with a “path” to make my simple composition …. and I just can choose too much as the lightning only strike at this angle ..

 

… lightning …

and it is just simply a lucky day for me …

 

*** little sharing

I am not an expert of lighting photography, but I use the way I shoot star but as in the evening the shutter may not be too long so the capture can be 1-10s …. and we just have to merge multiple pictures into one if the lightning sequence is not too close ……

to extend the exposure , i make use of Lee Filter GND .9h as ND8 to extend the exposure 3 stops so .. I have more lightning capture into single frame … HOPE this help
