going to make this short...still on vacation :) I have been thinking about this shot as I was browsing the digital wedding forum the other day, looking at some images from many awesome photographers posting images with strobes behind their subjects or coming in from an angle, adding a halo of light to the frame... I believe this technique is one you can put in your bag of tricks to carry around with you...its one that allows you many many very different possibilities. Include the flash in the frame, just out of the frame...shoot wide, shoot tight.... 1 million more possibilities here.. In this case, I was shooting a first dance... I decided to layer my composition by placing the couple between the shoulders of two of the members of the bridal party... this technique pretty much works all the time...So now that the framing of the image is out of the way, its time to decide where to place the light... I was trying to contrast a soft elegant moment with some harsh strong powerful light and came up with the following photo example...Ethereal almost.. This photo would have failed had the best man's head not been placed in front of the flash...IMHO. I honestly have NO IDEA what my remote speedlight settings were in this frame...I was mixing it up by shooting available, then switching to on camera bounce, and mixing up just about every possibility I had and then decided to switch on the Pocket Wizard and fired away... my assistant was on the other side of the dance floor. OH, My on camera bounce added the exposure on their faces! yep, it is possible to add some on camera flavor ttl style :) Thoughts? Cheers! matt
