"Dancing In The Breeze"©David A. Ziser
This is one of the first images I made with my new Canon 20D Camera a number of years ago. I was at one of the local parks and the sun was quite bright. My typical "modus operandi" for shooting in bright light is to turn the ISO down to it's lowest possible setting, in this case 100 ISO, set the camera to it's highest sync speed - 1/250 second, and bring my off-camera flash in from the side creating the loop lighting pattern on my bride. The constant breeze made it easy to capture the veil with some very nice flowing lines adding to the beauty of the bridal portrait. Camera specs; Canon 20D fitted with 17-85mm IS lens at 20mm, F16 @ 1/250 second, ISO 100. Enjoy! -David
another eye feast! just a beautiful images and good info. thx!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the technical info! I have trouble using my flash in the bright daylight because the photo is then too bright and washed out. I never can seem to get the settings just right for that. I can't wait to try your suggestions here ... as soon as this rain passes! lol. By the way, I attended your Jacksonville seminar and it was excellent. Thanks, too, for all of the coupons and discounts. I sent a job to American Color Imaging for the first time, thanks to your $100 certificate off, and the work was fantastic!! I can't wait to use them again.
ReplyDeleteI´d love to see this picture before processing.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo David. Your style has inspired me to try so many different things with off camera flash that it's been a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your knowledge.
Beautiful image! This is one of my favorite lighting techniques and I always enjoy your compositions. You always make this look so easy.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I signed up for your Digital Wakeup Seminar in Louisville, Ky. Looking forward to it, and can't wait to listen to you in person!
This is one of the most beatiful pictures posted recently. I simply love the composition and the light in this shot. Thanks a lot for sharing!
ReplyDeleteDavid, great suggestions. I'll try this next time I have a wedding at what looks like Ault Park.
ReplyDeleteOne more thing, David, could you share with us how do you prepare images for web?
ReplyDeleteGreat image, love the composure and setting
ReplyDeleteHow do you get F/16 out of a small flash?
ReplyDeleteIs it very close? Like barely out of the frame?
