I received my new Canon EL-1 V2 flash today so I thought I would take a quick photo using it of my 1969 Ford GT40 Le Mans winning car. Notice the wheel weights on the rims for detail, and yes it has valve stems as well. This photo was taken with the car in the wall mount case. Camera was set for f/22 for aperture, ISO set at 2500 and the flash was pointed up at an angle for a bounce flash using a Canon R6 MKII with Canon 24-105mm L IS USM lens. L is canons top of the line lens, IS stands for image stabilization, this photo was taken at 91mm for the focal length. This shot was handheld at 1/60 of a second.

Looking good! When light id decent a fill-flash can be a lot of fun. If it has compensation, experiment with - 3 stops to + 3 to see the differences - it will amaze you what it's capable of. (Such a grand model!!)

I need the image stabilization lens and camera bodies these days or tremors will throw off the sharpness.

All my lenses have the VR feature (Vibration Reduction) and they really do account for2-3 stops of stability when hand-held. For model shots though, I never shoot hand-held; it's always tripod mounted and onboard timer with nothing touching the camera at exposure. You'll be amazed at the difference.I need the image stabilization lens and camera bodies these days or tremors will throw off the sharpness.

The canon system depending on the lens and camera body can provide up to 8 stops of image stabilization when the lens and camera work together. It is a life savor for me these days.
