A few photos from school tonight.

Caught this guy on his skateboard as I was heading to class.

The first floor hallway of the art building.

Is this where I tell you I messed up and didn’t print my assignment? I thought we were going to show JPEGs.  Guess where I will be tomorrow?

Anyway, after critique we all grabbed our cameras and flashes and remotes and headed outside for a lesson on how to shoot with flash outdoors and still have a lovely photo.  To get the background to have detail and color and not blow out the subject, essentially you expose for the background, then stop down two stops, and adjust your flash to light your subject. After a lot of trial and error, my partner and I seemed to get the hang of it.  I get the concept. Now I must practice, practice, practice!

My partner.  This was shot in a well-shaded area with bright light behind her.  A little blurry, but you get the idea.

Another classmate working with two others and using a remote flash trigger to light their subject with two Speedlites.  I took her picture with my flash, and it set off the other Speedlite being held by her partner.
