Flash Photography in the Wild | chasing carnivorous plants | PhotoWILD

Flash should be a basic part of every nature photographer's kit. It doesn't matter if you are a wildlife photography, landscape photographer, or a dedicated macro photography. Flash is one of the most important tools you need to learn how to use right now.
As you will see in this video even using just one single flash will dramatically enhance your photography in the field.
Photography is all about light. Therefore flash gives us the opportunity to actually take control of what is the most important component of photography.
Most nature photographers are afraid of using flash however because they feel the results are so varied and it doesn't make sense. The only reason flash is confusing for many people is simply because they don't understand how flash is meant to be used.

Love the creative “nature” with your lighting in nature photography. Music is great also.

Beautiful image of the frog in its micro-habitat

Hey Jared, just discovered you and liked that photo of the frog in the plant. It would've been nice to see a little more on how you created that particular photo. One question is did you take that in the full sun like that?? Did you use High speed sync to create that black background or was that done in post. Macro is my thing and I'm trying to learn the aspects of creating good light like that from flash. I just purchased the yongnuo twin flash set-up but not sure if I'm liking it as it gets the light too close to the subject. I'm now following you on your Facebook page--some kicking shots on there.
