Thanks, learned how to focus stack this weekend, which was also the first time using Photoshop. Have a photo with a wider view and more layers, but need to remove some artifacts.....another step to learn. It's a good lens, has some features I like that the DFA 100 macro doesn't have, which I sold recently.

I shot this with FA 77 and natural light only, still wondering if I should have used the flash.

Flash not necessarily needed if she would have inclined her body so that the face gets some light and legs got less light. I don't know, it depends on the intend of the photographer. You could cross post that image in the photo critique section in order to get various opinions on this photograph.

Flash, always flash imo, it does just open a can of worms however. All the best outdoor portrait work typically involves flash use, unless sometimes in the golden hour and it's not needed. Check out the work by our very own Christopher Rankin, check exif and see how often the flash is firing in the shots;

or check out the work by Monty here on Instagram, almost all his kid shots are using flash, either ceiling bounce or firing the flash behind him; Richard Broadhead. (@monty5959) ? Instagram photos and videos

The trick is knowing the system and what you're using well enough to make the shot look like no flash really fired (like it's not obvious, hard to tell).

.. just my 2 cents.

First I though it was a mannekin doll there, nice effect.
About that flash, dunno, perhaps little could have brought up face, but it would have changed whole mood of this too.

Yep, I was careful not to get too close to the edge. It was breathtaking. But it is not to the scale of Utah and the Grand Canyon. Thanks for sharing that.
