Got this shot while testing the lights at Cameron, many months ago. Used on-camera flash to lit the little flower, and render the background darker. I think the settings should be f/5.6, 1/60secs @ISO 320 , 28mm.

This was shot captured against sunlight on a bright mid-morning. The colours were saturated via darkening during post processing (aka NIKON capture). Settings if I recall ; ISO 200 , f/7.1 , 1/200 secs @ 18 mm. Well, it is clear that flash was not fired due to the brighter , mid morning sunlights. Probably, this can be done at Cameron, where it is cooler and the sun diffused by the clouds. I doubt it can be done at the foot hill.
