 PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: Miniature yellow flower at 3pm bright afternoon and breezes. Use TV mode, tripod and reduce EC by -1 to -3.

9 Feb 2025: 3 pm. Glaring sunlight reflected from yellow petals. So I reduce Exposure Compensation by -1/3 to -1 and got this photo of non reflecting yellow petals of The Creeping Cucumber flower. 

Canon R5. Tripod. TV mode. 105mm, 1/1000 sec, f/4, ISO 200. Very difficult to get non-reflective flower without reducing EC. See 2nd image below

 

 

 

 

2nd image, not photoshopped. Petals are reflective and blurry.
Canon R5, tripod, 105mm, 1/250 sec, f/4, ISO 200. MANUAL mode.

 

 

 

SHOULD USE
24-105mm lens at 85mm, f/16 for 1/20 sec but there was  a strong breeze, hence I used TV mode.
