We all need one good TTL hot shoe speedlight for walk-about bounce use (do use your white bounce card). And that result can be mighty good too, but then we often wonder what happens if we try a little harder? Off camera lights make a big difference. Umbrellas make a really big difference - when up close they give very a soft light, very flattering for portraits. And another light or two makes a really big difference too. The question then is which way to go? It is easy to put speedlights into umbrellas, and this works well. Or we could get actual studio lights. The following comparison speaks of more studied fixed setup multiple lights, like for umbrellas in the living room. The following about the difference is intended to be an introduction for those not yet familiar with these studio practices. There is a strong Nikon bias here, but much of this is not brand specific.
Georgi Stanev on 26 Oct 12These flowers pictures are but a tiny part of the hundreds of high resolution photos available for free download as standard and widescreen wallpapers for your desktop background or printout. All photos are taken on Beautiful Philippine islands. God created billions of flowers to add more joy and color to our lives. Flowers are living beings always ready to love and to heal us. With this in mind enjoy the beauty of tropical flowers in nature, in flower garden or flower park and remember that all the beauty migh be gone one day if we continue to destroy nature."
