Easy To Look At...

I captured this image using the Quantum 5DTR Flash unit, mounted on my camera, bounced at  90 degrees with a kicker card.  I set my ISO to 800, set the shutter speed to 1/60th of a second and my f. stop was f.5.6  Check out the evenness of the image.

Making It Easy

Every time I sit down to blog, I think of what my aim is with my work. Simply, it is to have the sophistication of a well balanced photograph while keeping the shooting simple.  I want to keep the integrity of the background and balance the foreground to give a dimensional look to a one dimensional image.  The task is always how do I achieve this look with one light on the camera?

With this image, I pumped the iso up to 1000, set my camera to 1/30th of a second at f.5.6, bounced the camera light at 90 degrees with a kicker card on the back of the reflector.  This is what I captured...  I'm noticing that since I started using Quantum's 5TDR electronic flash units, I'm getting far better consistency compared to when I was using the Canon 58EX units.
