Miss Sunshine

Kind of old picture, but kind of using nature light.

The light inside its eyes make it vivid and motivated, the sunshine is like a kicker lights. The  car next to it was a white car, and it acts like a reflector that reflect the light like a fill light. I manually set up the flash to 1/128 power, as the main light.

So special lights setup, just find a good angle that has no big shadow inside the flower, using Canon 100mm f/2.8L Macro to shoot this flower, focus on the yellow thing of the flower.

Shoot in RAW and bring up the darkness a little bit. I waited the sun comes down so there is no big shadow on the bird.
Sometimes you cannot fix issues in technical way, you have to wait and adjust yourself.
