Header Challenge - Fill flash

 

Back in August, I saw these water droplets on the lily pads and wanted to make them sparkle. So I turned on the flash. My header is the result. Below is an image that shows the available light on that overcast afternoon.

 

Here is the center of the header cropped to show the sparkle. (Note on this post no image enhancements were made.)

 

Here is a real practical use for fill flash,

when  the main subject is in the shadows.

And finally flash used on an late afternoon shot.
