Nice work as always Mark, do you blow away the background with the camera settings or you photoshop it afterwards?

for this, it was in camera. I created a pin light effect...correct term i think?.....shielding the light so it fell straight on the stem.

The flash head is 200w out put but only used half of that out put.

Thanks paulo

Great stuff, I assume you used a very high f number for these? sorry the questions just like to get some tips when I can, shame my poor old KM 5D is not up to the job anymore

if I recall, F8. iso 50 shutter was 1/200th. These are typical settings, with this lens. I just play about with the output of the flash.

no worries with questions mate

Interesting, usually I can only get these effects with my macro lens with I go up to F29-32.
