Just playing around

I broke out my flash and my Einstein today to try to learn how to shoot a brighter type of photo than I normally shoot.

My flash-lit photos tend towards the moody side, or at least I think so, with darker shadows and such.

Not today!  I used a flash to light the background.  As I type this it doesn't look pure white like it did in Lightroom (bummer).  I used my Einstein to light the kids as my key light.

And I used my large reflector, gold side this time around, to knock down the shadows under the chin and on the neck.  Thanks Angie for the reflectors - I use them pretty much any time I photograph nowadays.

Enjoy the photos of the kids!

Cheers,

Marc
