March 9th, 2010 · No Comments

This time I nearly killed myself on the way out – climbed a dirt / rock conglomeration just to the left of the waterfall that was a bit too loose for comfort and got pretty well freaked now and then. So, good times as usual. Had a flash with me this time so I could [...]

If you trigger your off-camera flash right it will sync with the camera shutter and you can shoot at 1/6400 to kill some sun and get a nice exposure of subject and background. Yeah, something like that. There’s an SB-28 with a beauty dish camera left and sun coming in from camera right.
