Great shot! Do you mind sharing how you lit this in a heavy storm?
Thank you for the kind works, much appreciated..
I took the shot standing on my front porch shooing out into the zinnia patch; these are 5ft tall zinnias. Really fast shutter speed and high(ish) iso... and in post, a lot of noise clean up. I must have taken a hundred shots with only really this one worth processing; due to the extra raindrop in the middle.
So I assume it was not strobbed, right?
No strobe, all natural light with a Dodge, Levels and Exposure adjustments in post.
Which introduced even more noise. It was a fairly big process to get it back to usable.
(Sorry about that, I should have added that to my above description and/or response)
Wow, I would have thought this was strobed to get the drops like that. Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome. Yeah I dodged the peanuts out of a few of those raindrops and water on the petals.. heh :)
Well it worked out nicely!
