[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
one of the most difficult element to control in a photo is light...
if you can control the flash/light you should be able to photograph just about anything...

this is what i'm working towards now
indoor flash is quite straight forward...as long as the flash can cover the whole room or area you are in business :)

outdoor fill flash is whole different ball game
you need to balance the flash with the amount of ambient light

here i hav the big Metz flash firing on remote from the side of the second bench in the background
i hav my nikon flash firing at low power from the camera to light the forground bench

with outdoor fill flash, you control the flash with the camera's F-stop
the ambient light is control with the camera's shutter speed
you hav to work with all 4 elements(F-stop, shutter speed, flash, ambient light) to get a blanced look and feel will the light

one other element to keep in mind is distance...
if the flash is too close to the subject, it will overexpose, too far and the flash will not be powerfull enough...

when everything comes together, its worth all the work :) cause the setup usually takes longer then the actual shooting :P

Sujet qui attire l'oeil!
Des zones d'ombre et lumière intéressantes,
mais surtout la perspective que je remarque.

Happy day!

Bonjour BK Koh
photo tres bien construite,mais peu-étre un peu trop contrastée ,léger.Perso:J'aurais remonté un peu le bord du bas pour supprimer cette petite diagonale.
