Flower power
The almost-setting sun was behind this flower [can anyone ID it?] and made a kind of 'halo' of the spiky stamens. The background was too bright, I was shooting into the sun light, so if I exposed correctly for the background I lost all detail in the flower. Using a pair of warmed-up [TLA1 gel filters] SB800s off-camera added light into the flower nicely and I was able to darken the distracting background with a fast shutter speed. This image was taken while waiting for the 2 elusive Sunbirds to turn up.... they did but they disappeared as fast as they could when they spotted me looking at them through a big lens.
