The Return of the Hydrangeas: Testing TTL Flash Strength on the Fujifilm X-E5 (July Set 3 of 15)
Set three of fifteen. Back to the wall where this series started, in completely different light, running the Godox iT32 from low fill to full to see exactly what each step does.
Set 1 was this exact wall. Same hydrangeas, same white brick, same stretch of stone. But that morning the light was flat and hit-or-miss, the sun ducking behind cloud, and I spent the whole set working around it.
This time I came back at golden hour, and it's a completely different photograph. The sun is low and warm and coming through from behind, the blooms have filled out and gone properly white, and the whole wall glows in a way it simply refused to that morning. Same spot, same flowers, and I could not have made these frames three weeks ago. That's the thing I want to press on in this set: location gets all the credit, but light does most of the work.
