Perfect shot and best use of the flash!!!

Thank you Sonny This was a phase I had when I was shooting lots of sunsets, but instead of shooting things in backlight as usual I decided to use the flash to rebound the grass. I have another good one here where I used the same technique.

I think this is the best way to use a flash anyway. I've got one too - not with a sunset but also to get the effect what is a bit on the extreme side since I had to be so close to the flowers otherwise the church would have been cropped!LOL

That church shot is really great, the brilliant thing is that you used the flash but managed to not having parasite reflexions on the glass, other brilliant thing is that both the church and the flowers are in focus. What settings did you use?

Thanks Vasco! I was diving down really deep to have no flash reflections and to get away as far as possible from the flowers. The settings: ISO 200, F/22, 18mm, 0,7 underexposed and 1/60 of course because of the flash. Thank to the 18mm AND F/22 both is in focus and thank to the very bright sun the church is not too dark.

Apreciei tanto esta foto que já integra a lista das minhas favoritas. Gostei particularmente do filtro de verdura, em primeiro plano, a contrastar com o dourado do Sol. A singularidade de estarmos virados para o poente permite captar momentos destes, de extraordinária beleza, a contrastar com o caos paisagístico que, por vezes, grassa nas nossas costas. Novato nestas paragens, vou ficar "de olho" na sua colecção que se adivinha promissora. Parabéns.
