Hello all,
Siddiq asked how I lit these shots.
No flash. Just residual light from the sky and/or clouds. White balance set in
the E1 using a sheet of white paper.
I have long been impressed by the advice given by John Shaw in his books -
eg Nature Photographer's Complete Guide to Professional Field Techniques
and
Close-ups in Nature : The Photographers Guide To Techniques in the Field
both available now through www.bookfinder.com
He explains why to use the techniques, and in his books was the ONLY
author of such books to give firm advice on tripods to use - which I followed
(some 20+ years ago, buying from B&H in New York, using the adverts in
Popular Photography).
Cheers, Brian
