Glad you're having fun with that new lens. It took me a while to get the settings right with my set up, then I forgot a few times what they were. lol.
A while back I made this weird looking cone thingy out of tinfoil and some cardboard. You may want to rig up something like that. It helped reflect much needed light back to the subject, so you can use a faster shutter speed and thus reducing the chance for lens shake.
I made it so that it sat around my head and on my neck. Did I loose you??? lol. It looked like a flashy silver dog collar.. one of those you would put on them after a surgery. Uggggg... can't think of the name of those silly but practical things. You know what I'm talking about though.. I hope!
Sounds weird but it worked. I since trashed it when I picked up a secondary flash... but I like old school.. maybe I need to make another one. 😆
AWESOME shots though. I like the puppy dog shots best 😁
I also haven’t even really explored my settings, I just followed a Youtuber’s settings🤣 There are indeed a lot especially with autofocus but I’d like to keep them like this for now lol.
Righhhht! I get you hahah. I’m imagining a bib, is it close?🤣 I have thought of reflectors too but since I have a speedlight that I can use off cam, maybe that will work but I haven’t really tried for macro yet and flash settings are also really confusing. Maybe a reflector will work for now hahah thank you for the advice!
