Why the fascination with black backgrounds. I find them ok for studio photography, but in the field???

Welp, I recently started to use the flash I bought a year or so ago. I figured I would try to learn how to control the ambient light while shooting outside on a sunny day (which seems to be about 95% of the time where I live).

OK. Makes sense, but make some with ambient light, too, then compare. Black vs natural background is a personal taste consideration of course. No right answer.

Agreed. The good thing is these plants are on our family evening walk route so I get the opportunity to take a look at the flowers nearly daily.

I take photos, not particularly good photos, mostly abstract photos. Yeah abstract is what I would call them, you might call them blurry.
