Fork-leaved sundew - (5:1) - 2, Heesch, Netherlands A series of flash-lit 5:1 photos showing details of the glandulair hairs. As you can see, this is a fun subject to have light experiments on as the hairs are somewhat transparent and light bounces around.<br /> <br /> Technical notes: it really still blows my mind how much light you have to add to such a scene. This is Nikon&#039;s most powerful flash (SB900) almost touching the subject. A flash that lights up 20m of forest at night. It&#039;s still barely enough for 5:1 at these settings.<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/93034/fork-leaved_sundew_-_51_heesch_netherlands.html" title="Fork-leaved sundew - (5:1), Heesch, Netherlands"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/2/93034_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=6nHJSbAlX3DMz3eHEv2780Se5kc%3D" width="134" height="152" alt="Fork-leaved sundew - (5:1), Heesch, Netherlands A series of flash-lit 5:1 photos showing details of the glandulair hairs.
