Here is a 3 shot panorama that I took yesterday at our Waterfall Meetup. It’s pretty nondescript.

First time with the RadioPoppers on the new 550D. Work fine. Of course we knew they would.
Canon 430EX II high camera left bounced with a white brella fired at 1/2 power with the Radiopopper. f8 at 1/200.

First of all I am going back in time with the numbering here as I have some how gotten off track. Since most of these go to my blog it seems to be a bit messy changing the name later so now I am back to the right number of shots, 64.
After listening to an all about flash podcast by lensflare35 and the Digital Experience group I wanted to try my honl snoot for the back lighting. I guess it turned out OK (but not great).
So here is the lighting:
Canon 430EX II high camera right fired @ 1/8 power through the shoot-thru umbrella with the RadioPopper JrX.
Vivitar @ 1/4 power fired with the Sonia optical slave through a Honl snoot. Post processing is with Silver Efex Pro.

Got out for a short walk with the camera today. The sky was dark and stormy looking but no rain.
I used Silver Efex Pro in the post-processing to get this great holga looking photo.

Here is a foggy one from fort point on the 20th anniversary of photoshop. I am using a trial version of Silver Effects Pro to see how I like it. And I do.

Yeah, so I missed my first day. There will be days like that. Low lighting = not so great. So yeah about the low lighting. It was a quick portrait before I had to go somewhere tonight. I thought I would try the main light low. On the way home I am listening to TWIP and there are talking lighting. LIght high for the best look. I see what they mean.
(Note to self: Light high dude)
