An inexpensive piece of equipment I keep in my backpack is a 12 inch reflector. Many times, especially when shooting flowers, the light is such that shadows play havoc with the makeup of your image. Shadows can give depth and feeling to a photo, but sometimes even lighting brings out the best of what your subject has to offer. The photo in the top left is without a reflector. The photo in the right was taken with a silver reflector.

Hello! I saw your forum posts on the Spotted Coralroot Orchids and found your blog. I'm just starting photography as a hobby (got a D700 and lots of fast glass now), but you have motivated me to not be so lazy when shooting flowers. :) Next time I'll bring a tripod and small reflector.
