So one 1st of June I missed the company bus and got on the LRT instead, to work, and found flowers opposite Sogo, on the way to Bandaraya LRT!
I shot with either my Minolta 50mm F1.4 with Tamron 1.4x teleconverter…
…or the Peleng 8mm F3.5 circular fisheye.
Aperture plays a very important part in making a shot; make sure there is enough depth of field to make the flower sharp and defined as one object. Sometimes it also helps to not entirely throw the background into a blurry mess.
Wireless flash from below.
Also, I had to watch out for the sun and my shadow blocking it, especially so with a fisheye.
Annoyingly, the Peleng has an unevenly colored coating, where the color cast can change by just turning it about. Its effect can even be seen in the viewfinder!
Somehow I’d like a blurry mess… A creamy blurry mess.. But that’s just me..haha
