Shot this last summer. I had just picked up my 80-200 /f2.8 and was still figuring things out. It was super dark, so totally switched to manual focus. Another friend was shooting with a wide angle and had a flash, so I shot at 10fps and hoped I would catch something with his flash.
DEFINITELY has me thinking about investing in a remote flash set-up and actually put some time and effort into it.
I love and hate flash... It's beautiful when there's time to invest in getting it right, but too often I'd walk away with unsusable images with hot spots.

There is just about as much to learn about OCF as there is the rest of photography itself.
I shot this with two Godox OCF in my dining room.
I usually keep the small hotshot flash in my bag in case I stumble across something unique, like this old carriage house in a state park
I ended up grabbing an open box em5 mkii with a couple of sigma f1.4 lenses. I'm pretty pleased so far, I was finding it very daunting to bring my full frame DSLR with me lately.
My DSLR kit consisted mostly of a d610, 28 mm f/1.8, 70-200 f/2.8, 50 mm f/1.2, 70 mm f/1.8 and a 150-400 mm sigma lens.
With the em5 Im carrying a 16 mm f/1.4, 25mm f/1.4, Chinese garbage 35 f/1.2 with plans to grab a 35-100 in the coming weeks. I find that the weight and size difference in glass is huge and that I appreciate it far more then I had anticipated.
