I was looking over my wife's shoulder as she was working on a recent wedding... She is just on fire with some of her attempts with flashflavor recently. Specifically, I was noticing that she is doing a brilliant job of fooling the eye. I wrote about her attempts to lead the eye out of believing that there is any flash involved in this past FF article. Here, she is at it again with a pretty nice portrait attempt. Sol used a full power flash with a 1/4 CTO warming gel. Slave triggered by pocket wizard. 1/200 f22 at ISO 100. She was able to under expose the sky by bringing the flash very close to the subject (5 feet or less). The sunburst almost tricks the eye to believe that there isnt any strobe used at all... Well, most pros will know what is going on but to the common observer, its magic :) Same portrait session, another creative usage of light. I really like the lines and dynamic use of light here. Definitely a different way to take a groom's portrait! 1/200 f10 ISO 100 full power flash 1/4 CTO Warming Gel. and one more from that same session.... 1/200 F5.6 ISO 100 full power flash 1/4 CTO Warming Gel.
