p.1 #1 · October Dragons III

More images from yesterday's shoot. Images taken in manual mode and I kept the light meter pretty close to -2. I set an MR-14EX to manual mode and varied the exposure depending on how much natural light was reflecting off of the subject -settings ranged from full power for subjects that were back lit to 1/32 power when the sun was behind me. Canon's 180L + an 81A warming filter.

I like 'em all, but think I agree with Brian about the light in the last frame.

And, BTW, thanks for that tutorial. I've heard this so much from you(underexposing the ambient and using flash to light the subject) that it seems I hear it in my sleep.

But, it's good.

Thanks again, Kenny
