Here is my assignment for June. My son celebrating the first day of Summer Vacation!High speed sync using my new PocketWizards in E-TTL mode. Shot using a shoot through with the bottom half flagged.
For the second shot, I took a more unconventional lighting approach.
Same camera settings, high-speed sync and E-TTL but instead of an umbrella, I bounced the flash off a glass candle holder sitting on the table.
Really interesting result.
Great shots of your son. The first one shouts that special joy that I remember on the last day of school before summer.
ReplyDeleteThe bounce light worked well on the second one. The light is very soft and diffuse but still providing nice contour definition.
I love his solemn expression in the second one and the direct look into the camera. He is going to be a heartbreaker!
What time of day did you take these?

Yea, these are great, way to experiment with the bounce off the candle. Crazy.
ReplyDeleteDitto the above comments. Nice balance of light on your son versus the background.
ReplyDeleteThe candle image was a nice use and example of how one can use the flash.
