Mr. McCarthy,
Much of these discussions are a bit above my head, but it is a pleasure to read your thorough and thoughtful advice.
Most of us, I think, shoot photographs in the glory and grace of light that nature provides. In my case, living in Arizona, it is usually a very direct and bright sun.
In the field, perhaps for fungi, do you manipulate or actively control lighting? Reflectors, diffusers, etc. Can you offer general techniques, as opposed to tools, that will better our 'control' of available light?
And finally, do you use a flash unit to create catchlight in the eyes of your animal subjects? If so, a brief explanation of this technique and your opinion of its salience, would be greatly appreciated.
I hope my question is worthy,
John
