A bit of experimenting

Early this morning while waiting for my computer guy to call I decided to take a flower Friday photo.  I knew husband and I would spend the rest of the day doing garden clean up in the courtyard.  No fresh flowers in the house and none blooming outside so I grabbed an orchid from upstairs.  I thought it would be a good time to use the speed light again and it hooked up first try and I was able to adjust the light strength from the remote trigger, all good.  Then I decided to try a in camera double exposure for the first time.  I wasn't to happy with two shots of the same flower so tried holding a crystal up at the edge of the camera lens for the second shot and liked it better.  I didn't do anything in post but a crop and brightened the front flower just a little bit.  It was a fun exercise and the computer is now running another 8 Tb back up drive that I will swap out with the one I had every other month, and bit defender for virus protection.  The courtyard is nicely cleaned up and the sun is shining, and husband and I are planning a Friday night glass of wine on the back deck.
