7/7/07 wedding - new lighting experiments
Sunday, July 8, 2007
Hey guys - Lauren and I just did a 7/7/07 wedding and tried some new techniques with how I lit the subjects. The ceiling was a peaked ceiling about 50ft high so the whole bounce flash thing was out. For most of these I bounced the flash either on the walls behind me or a large white flat side wall. They came out better and softer then I expected - esp for an experiment.
Enjoy

Tim, I too am working on side-bouncing. Not only does it make the light soft, it gives it a direction that bouncing from the ceiling doesn't have. I love flashing backwards. When the ballroom is huge, I have an assistant hold a reflector behind me to create a wall. A dial up a little flash power on my 580 flash if the wall is real distance behind me. I'm also doing this without a OmniBounce, Fong Dong or any other type of diffuser.
