Subject to distance

Lighting 102: 1.2-Position/Distance.

To demonstrate the effect of bare flash with regards the distance to subject marked on photos. The subject at a constant 3ft from wall.

ISO, Shutter speed and flash output was constant.

The only variable was the aperture which was stopped down between photos.

This is to do with Inverse square law which not only is way over my head with the numeric aspect but also the language.

Where is Lisa when I need her.

I gather it is to do with ratios between the relativity of subject to wall and subject to flash.

I kind of get it.

The positive being I achieved the results expected and I will continue with this exercise

You should see the background changing from light in the first photo, to slightly darker in the middle then darker again on the final photo.

The dont talk to me zone.

I know exactly what Lisa is thinking......

I really do.

Treetops: Garden flowers

Spring flowers.

Primula, double headed Daffodil Ribes and small cup daffodil

Edited to add: I keep getting drawn to the composition of the last photo of the daffodil.

I like the angle of the flower also the depth of field and the way the leaves on the right hand side are more or less sitting on the line from top to bottom as if I had followed the rule of thirds and sat the leaves on an imaginary vertical line. Not intentional but something I should consider.

Lisa had the day of work today so I popped down for coffee.
I am not too sure what coffee or extra was added but no complaints from me. It was lovely.
