This area is called Calico Basin, about 2 miles from Red Rock. It was packed with people, pics. taken on a Saturday over the holiday weekend. Probably a bad idea, but we pulled it off.
I used fill flash on most of these shots. I am looking for comments, suggestions, etc.
Thank you.
Nice fill flash to compensate for the back lighting from that enormous natural light source, which by the way is an excellent hair light. Fill flash is a necessity in sometimes harsh lighting conditions trying to balance the ambient with the artificial. I'm no expert, my daughter is since this is her area being a wedding/portrait photographer. I think you did a great job, nice change from the action shots but you'll find that your portrait photography slips into your action photography making that sports photo that much more of an impact.
