Soft Lighting in the Nature

Anemone in light
Some people swear by natural light for natural subjects, but in a place like Belgium, you are better off if you take your light in your pocket. This photo of an anemone was taken using an Ezybox Hotshoe powered with a Speedlite 580EX. Note that I’m using the recessed border of the Ezybox to flag the background from getting illuminated. That way the flower gets ’soaked’ in light while the -otherwise busy- background gets obscured into a second plane.
Setup image for the Anemone image
In this setup picture you can see how cold and miserable the day was.
Always take your light with you.
