2010 - Week 12, Fill Flash

Behind the House
March 26, 2010 7:44 pm
Nikon D90, 28-75mm 2.8 - shot in RAW
Manual, Direct Flash, ISO 400, SS 1/100, f/4.5

This week  I have made my head ache trying to learn how to use fill flash effectively outside during the day & evening.  Thank goodness there were finally some "ah-ha" moments yesterday and today technically, but I still have to try and see if I can use them in real life situations once the girls agree to let me try again.

We only had one really beautiful sunset this week, unfortunately I hadn't had any of my ah-ha moments yet and so in those shots the sunset is pretty and the girls are like white ghosts.  On Friday, I finally got some of the components to align (not perfectly yet though) and got this keeper in front of a less than stellar sunset.
