In the bright daylight shade, to achieve a shutter speed of 1 second, I lowered my ISO to 50 and set the aperture to f/18. This slow shutter speed, combined with deliberate camera movement, created an abstract impression of my subject,…Read More

Yes, I failed to mention deliberate camera movement in my post. Will quickly add it.

Thanks for the mini tutorial. This could really help me. Right now it feels like I’m just winging it with the speedlight.

For a prime lens, my favourite is the 85mm f/1.4. I don’t own one but often find myself borrowing it. It’s an exceptional lens for portraits, although the Canon version is quite pricey. I’m considering the Canon RF 85mm F2 MACRO IS STM as an alternative. Its 1:2 macro feature makes it versatile, good for portraits, and ideal for product…Read More
