Build a "blind" in the backyard and let the sujects come to her!
I read the article and that dude creeps me out!
You would too if you were missing part of your big toe! :)
These are wonderful images! Thanks for sharing.
Welcome aboard! Been a long time since I was on the big island. I was there the day that the 1960 tsunami destroyed Hilo. Looking forward to seeing some of your pictures of that area.
Wow...it sure did not look that way the last time that I was there (1961). Very nice shot!
There are several way to do this depending on the end effect that you would like. Here is one way. Compose your backlit picture. From the camera take an exposure reading and set your camera keeping the shutter speed below 1/200 so it will sync. with your flash. If necessary use your shutter speeds (keeping shutter at sync. speeds or below) and ISO to to make necessary adjustments for a normal exposure. Now your subject (model) is going to look like a silhouette but the background with normal exposure. So...you will need to fire some light in there to brighten her up. Adjust the power on the flash to get the proper amount of light on your model. Fire some test shots adjusting the power on the flash until it is at a level you desire. I personally do not like blown out backgrounds as they are like staring into the sun and distract from the subject. Good luck!
Beautiful! My son, a fireman, will enjoy seeing this. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful...the fawn is my absolute favorite!
