Nikon Z5 & Godox: Nighttime Flower Photography

Taking pictures of flowers can be a challenging task, especially if you are trying to capture them at night. However, with the right equipment and technique, you can capture stunning images of flowers even in low light conditions. In this blog post, we will discuss how to take pictures of flowers at night with a Nikon Z5 and a Godox V860III external flash.

Equipment Needed:

Nikon Z5 camera
Godox V860III external flash
A tripod
A remote shutter release cable
A lens with a wide aperture

Step 1: Find a suitable location

The first step in capturing images of flowers at night is to find a suitable location. Look for a spot that is well-lit and has a good backdrop. It's also important to consider the ambient light in the area as it can affect the overall look of the image. Once you have found a suitable location, set up your tripod and camera.

Step 2: Set up the camera

Now it's time to set up your camera. First, attach your lens to the camera and set the aperture to the widest setting. This will allow more light to enter the camera and give you a shallower depth of field, which is great for isolating your subject. Set your ISO to 400 and your shutter speed to 30 seconds. These settings will help you capture as much light as possible in low light conditions.

Step 3: Set up the external flash

Next, set up your external flash. The Godox V860III is a great option for this task as it is a powerful and versatile flash that can be used both on and off-camera. Attach the flash to your camera's hot shoe and turn it on. You can then adjust the flash's power settings to get the desired amount of light.

Step 4: Take the shot

Now it's time to take the shot. Use a remote shutter release cable to prevent camera shake and press the shutter button. The flash will fire and illuminate the flower, while the long shutter speed will capture the ambient light in the background. Experiment with different angles and compositions to get the best shot.

Conclusion:

Taking pictures of flowers at night can be a fun and rewarding experience. With the Nikon Z5 and Godox V860III external flash, you can capture stunning images of flowers even in low light conditions. Remember to find a suitable location, set up your camera and external flash, and experiment with different settings to get the best shot. Happy shooting!

Amateur Product Photography: Tips and Results

How I Created Pseudo Close-up Product Photos with My Nikon Z5 and 24-200mm Lens I suddenly wanted a Z 105 MC lens. However, my photography skills are not yet at the level where I can utilize all the features of a high-end lens and micro lens, so I decided to settle for playing around with the 24-200 lens to combat shortcuts. The 24-200mm lens has a shortest shooting distance of 0.5m at 24mm and 0.7m when zoomed to 200m. Obviously, it's not a short distance, so it's difficult to take a photo by holding the lens incredibly close to the subject as the dictionary definition of close-up, but if you zoom in and hold the object large, you can take a large photo at a relatively close distance, so it's not a full-fledged close-up, but it's a pseudo(?) close-up.
