I also got a silicon dome to put on the flash, and a small collapsible reflector. Wow, this was fun. Below is my first attempt. It was taken on a gray overcast day in the forest. The first image was the one I got without flash. I tried to develop it to a decent level, but I didn&#8217;t go all in. Just 10 minutes of Lightroom work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lentic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231217-0020-insta.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lentic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231217-0020-insta-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lentic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231217-0020-insta-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lentic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231217-0020-insta-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lentic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231217-0020-insta-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.lentic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231217-0020-insta-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lentic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231217-0020-insta-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lentic.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231217-0020-insta.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next image is a composite of two flash images.
