There’s always time for a photo

I have been really busy recently, but have taken some photos over the past few weeks, so thought I’d share a few of them

This little toadstool was taken with a flash each side to light it up, triggered with cactus radio triggers (flashes set to about 1/16th power i think, and quite a small aperture on the macro lens)

I have also been taking some photos of a friends’ band The rivers of sound

Also, following comments on a recent post I decided to get out in the garden and try some photos of the insect life that lives there. Most of these had an off-camera flash on E-TTL auto, though manual actually works better with a little practice (if you get the exposure wrong, the flies are gone before you get a second chance (probably cooked by the power of the flash that close) so E-TTL is easier to start with)
