RE: How to get bokeh effect with flash in daylight.
This is some really good advice! Thanks would you be so kind as to have a look at some of my photography blogs and critique some of it? It would really help me improve!
Hi Jared, I just checked out your Instagram. The pics are cool, but seem to be more personal, than you having put much thought into them. I think for a nice pic, you need to really hunt for it, rather than just pointing your camera/ phone at something nice. Try setting up a seperate stream and just adding one or 2 photos a week. Really think about how your pic can be different from other people's pics. Interesting angle, or editing, or subject/ lighting. Ideally all of those things . Probably best to practice one thing at a time. I guess trying a new angle could be a good start. Lying on the floor can throw up some cool pics. Or maybe getting in close to the subject , be it human or inanimiate. Why not try seeing if you can get some bokeh effect as well? You don't need to use an expensive light, just start with a good amount of separation from the subject to the background, and the aperture as wide as possible (low f stop. )
