G'day,

Had to have a quick play with the 50/F1.8 and SB800, when I noticed this happy native family enjoying a group hug in the park



Only PP was a 15% soft light overlay layer in PSCS, no sharpening or anything else... @ F1.8, I seem to have lost the exif I think...

Cheers,

not sure why this doesn't have any comments . . .

The exposure looks excellent. With the shinyness of the 'family', I think it would have been easy to over or underexpose, but you didn't.

Only thing I'd change is to try giving it half a degree of rotation counter-clockwise.

yeah, sharp shot!

was it hand held??

G'day,
Shoulda tried to get more difference between distance between cam to subject and subject to background for more isolation and less detail in the background but twas just a quick play After seeing the "flaming cold beer" post, a couple of Crownies later and this is the result

Hand held, with the SB800 on about -1.5 EV I think... The family are highly polished stone so any light tends to reflect strongly... Just trying to sus out the SB800 which is a fantastic flash unit, very flexible so I'm yet to understand how to get the most out of it...

Maybe with the 50/F1.8 I shoulda tried without flash?

Cheers,
Mudder
