Multi Flash

Great we masterd using multiple flashes in the studio, now the real challenge of taking that into the real world.

I really liked that I could take this assingment outside to let shaddows fall off in the distance, yet Katie Barns did a really nice job with her multi-flash work at the Greek Week skits. I chose my photo of MU Students for Life painting crosses at 3 am because it is not only the hardest one I had to work to get, but it really did show something that would not have other wise been shown. With that shot I could let my key light stay on my camera and use it to stop my subject, and use my second flash to set out of fram to get a few of the 4000 crosses on the South Quad.

I didn't like the Cardboard Condo shots that I had of habitat for humainty so much because the shot I really wanted of someone walking by being caught in the key lights flash area, and then using the secondar to light up the boxes. I did have a few, but the one of the girl in the jeans coming home from the library was way too hot to turn in. Amazing how much flash power you need to show what you need and how the subject distance will always mess that up, plus you can't move around too much because the moment you change your angle the 2nd light isn't in the right spot or gets too much in to the frame. The other angle I tryed to attempt at Habitat was to shoot the new Brady wall example with their Cardboard Condo's in the back ground. Yet once again angles and distance became my enemy.
