DIY, How to take the flowers Picture, in the Bright sun light

[surapon]

Actually after taking a look, it seems you've blown the highlights by having your flash too close? and tried to recover with a pink overlay? Maybe not highlights cause its in a weird place? You definitely did something dirty though.

Having a bad day Cinto?

I looked at your photos and thought "wow, these are great", and then you ruined it all for me by following up with consecutive disrespectful criticisms about Surapon's photos and technique.

Not cool.

Ha, Ha, Ha---Dear my friend Mr. Northstar.
Thankssssss for your comments, Well , I am very respect Mr. Cinto, Because of he speak direct from his heart , his knowledge and His Unique Point of Views that I can learn from my Error/ Mistake, and do better jobs in next time.
My dear old dad use to teach me = " WE MIGHT HAVE A VERY DIFFICULT TIME TO GET SOME DUST, OR DEBRIS FROM OUR EYES, BUT WE ARE VERY GLAD TO HAVE A GOOD FRIEND TO HELP US REMOVE THE DUST FROM OUR EYE---AND LEARN THAT , NEXT TIME WHEN WE GO TO THE DUSTY PLACE, USE OUR SUNGLASS TO PROTECT OUR EYES"------
Yes, In my Idea, Mr. Clinto is the person to try to help me remove the dust off my eyes.
Thanks for your great comments, Sir.
Have a great weekend.
Your Friend, Surapon.

Dear Friends
Yes, If I shoot the beautiful flower in the bright sun light, but want the Super dark or Black Back ground= What should I do ?.
Yes Very easy---Use Flashes and bright support lights for both sides of the flower( Spot Lights at the flower only), Shoot with High speed shutter, And Carry the Black umbrella to shade the larges back ground= Yes, The Back ground that in the shade of umbrella and do not get the light from flashes , will be black back ground from the Effected of high speed shutter.
Enjoy.

Yes, Please try, and you will love this technique ---Not Only The Flower, But Portrait Photos too, If you can have the Model to take the Photos, Just put your flash with Rouge Flash Blender at Her or His Side of Face, And Bingo ( With SS - 1/250 Sec.) and shoot at shade area = Great Dark Background for the Main Subject.
Enjoy.
Surapon

Dear Surapon,
I wish I can take your advice and photograph some models here using your tips ... but the models here are totally covered up, like the photos below ;D ;D ;D ... any suggestions on how to photograph them?

Dear friend Rienzphotoz.
The Drawing and the Photos below are the way That I did before, BUT you need to adjust the camera setting for the intensity of flashes ( the Distant of Flashes from the Subject) and the Distant of the Reflector, depend on your point of view-----Some time, if the Back ground shrub are too bright----Two man with big black umbrellas to give the shade of the shrub behind the subject will help too.
YES, Black Cover lady or Dark Skin African/ American are the Hard Subject to make a great exposure photos, Special mixed group with the light skin people. If a group picture, I must position of the Dark Skin People near the Flash, and the Light skin people far away from flash = That will help both group of people to be very happy, when they see the photos.
Enjoy.

Dear Friend, Mr. TrabimanUK.
THANKSSSSS.
If you use FF Canon Camera, = EF 100 Macro Lens are great for PORTRAIT Photography, With F=2.8 = Great Back ground beautiful Blur too, And Super sharp at F = 8.0----Please try for Portrait Photos.
BUT if you use the small sensor Camera, May be 100 mm( = 100 X 1.6 = 1600 mm) , You need to move far away from the beautiful model----Ha, Ha, Ha.
Have a great Work Week.
Surapon
Nice to talk to you

Mr Surapon,
I really like your images of the young lady you posted on the 18th., especially img_007; all images are beautiful. I am going to learn your lighting and high shutter speed to remove the background.
You are very kind to share the tricks up your sleeve!

Very inventive, well done!

Well. I've always found that ditching the equipment and playing with the light always gets me the best results. Light, maybe reflector, lens and camera.

Is that a Skipper in CRW_6722?

Here's an image of a flower taken early morning. Oh, yes, and a butterfly too. a butterfly in flight -- BFIF. That's my present obsession interest.

Giant Swallowtail and Penta (Pentas lanceolata).

Beautiful! Interesting combo using the 135 plus 1.4 extender....do you use that combo often?

1D X, 135mm + 1.4x extender, f/5.6, ISO 2000, 1/8000 sec. I used the 135mm + 1.4x II extender until I purchased a 200mm.

Beautiful! Interesting combo using the 135 plus 1.4 extender....do you use that combo often?

I used the 135mm + extender until I bought a 200mm. Not too much obvious difference in tele effect but I'm assuming that a 200mm has better Image Quality than a 135 with extender. BFIF images need all the IQ they can get!

p.s. As a newbie poster I can use some hints on how to reply to questions. I may have missed the obvious, or not seen how in the FAQ. Let's see how this attempt looks.

Criticism is ok when someone publishes their photos to show that they do know what their doing. So where are his images? I'd like to see it done better.
