In
Photoshop I darkened the edges, adding a small vignette to emphasise
the lemur's face and limit reduce the flashed look at the edges of the
frame. Advantages: Overall this is a good accessory. It's easy to
attach to the speedlight, very easy to open and use. It's somewhat
harder to collapse and store but, importantly, it seriously extends the
direction and power of your flash. I used this extensively in the
rainforest with the flash exposure compensation set to minus one or two
f-stops and still got good coverage at distances of up to 40 foot or so.
What this product does do is open up m,any more possibilities for
getting good wildlife shots where, without flash and the added power of
the MagMod, you'd end up with yet another black silhouette against a
bright sky. Disadvantages - Not many - it's not heavy (compared
to my Canon EF 300mm f2.8 lens with Extender) but I was aware of its
fragility when slipping and sliding along rainforest trails. It got
caught several times in the undergrowth - but that's the environment in
which it was being used - nothing to do with the design of the MagMod
itself. |
