Having watched a couple of Youtubes about using a flash outdoors, I am now an expert!

This was just a bit of fun, but the results are better than I had expected.   These were taken with one flash mounted on top of the camera, and another handheld.  The handheld was set to be much stronger.

We don't have too many flowers at this time of year, but the Azaelia looked nice.  The crocus was a bit weak looking to start, but it was the only one that was open.

Azaelia after it started to rain.  It is a bit difficult trying to keep the camera dry when photographing in the rain.  I couldn't use an umbrella as I needed my left hand for the second flash unit.
