Have spent the last two nights shooting macro photography here in Costa Rica. This is my first year shooting nothing but the Lumix system and what a joy it is to carry such a lightweight and easy-to-use macro system.
The one wireless flash I use is the FL360 and it fits in my shirt pocket with a LumiQuest Pocket Bouncer attached.
Gone is the difficulty of having to get on my belly and hold a heavy camera and huge macro lens in one hand and a wireless flash in the other. The ability to see the Lumix LCD at any angle is a huge bonus for macro photography. Below is a shot of my macro setup. It’s lightweight, small, and really fabulous results.
Here’s a closeup of the Lumix GH4 with the 45mm macro and a headlamp attached for ease of Auto Focus.
Below are some a couple of the results.
Red-Eyed tree frog. Manuel Antonio National Park, Costa Rica. Lumix GH4, 45mm Macro, FL360 in wireless mode.
Still trying to figure out what this critter is. Lumix GH4, 45mm Macro, FL360 in wires mode.
More photos and details to come in a later post.
