Yildiz,
Here we go. These are with A99M2 + HVL20M (trigger) + HVL 43M (in wireless mode) + FP (Godox TT685S) in optical mode.

Sury, you are showing progress and the equipment works nicely from the looks of it. The flowers look good...and with your dedication, you'll be an excellent shooter in minimal light conditions.

Thanks for sharing,
Yildiz

Thank you Yildiz. Learning a lot in the process. Forcing to visualize the shot which is a new thing
for me. So far my strategy has been spray and pray.

These are with 70-400G

Without flash


With 3 flash arrangement described previously. I put the camera in 10 sec timer mode, click and stand to the side with each
of my hands holding one of the flashes looking like a gorilla with its hands splayed. Had to remember where the flash was in the
previous shot to make adjustments after chimping - no pun intended.

Nice images, Sury, but I like the first one for making the flowers appear like jewels shimmering in the dark. Working with multiple devices can be complicating things a little. Over time, I think you'll settle for certain device arrangements and adjustments and all will be looking even better. Good luck!

Thanks for sharing,

Yildiz,
Thank you. First one is without flash. I agree with your observation regarding over complicating things. My first phase is learning how to get "natural" looking images. Then learn how to use light for effects.

1 and 3 are to my taste with 3 being a real winner. I have never used flash and fear I would fail completely if I tried. Is that a rationale for preferring natural or just regular indoor lighting? Maybe. Still, I find the light to be overpowering in some of your images (1st in set one of this page and 2nd in set two). Take my comments with a grain of salt as I have no idea how I would light those subjects other than waiting for the sun to shine in the window at the right time.

JT,
Thank you. As it were, I trying to figure the same effect. Get close even lighting without harsh flash effects.
We are on same page.
