Hi Kirsty, Cool idea... I would think the umbrella is reflecting the light back away...you might have to move the light more round to the front and feather to the back of brolly. Or if you have another Flash leave as is and fill light the subject from front or other angle. Good luck!!!

Great book I picked up was Peter Hurley "The Headshot". He has some great tips to produce that natural look which I have managed to put into practice with great affect. Posing wise, Sue Bryce & Bambi Cantrell are good starting points I found to build a basic idea.

Hi Donna, You will see some kind of grain with the ISO setting of 128000, When setting an exposure in bad light then something will have to suffer. I don't think the images are that bad for grain believe me I've seen a lot worse. (embrace the grain, grain is better than a blurry shot)

I did my 1st wedding this year, the gear was not the issue just stick to the kit you know and you will be fine. The main issue I had was how quick the day ran...depending on the wedding you will almost run the day so make sure you plan your timings, have the correct people to hand arrange the...

Any example shots too look at ?

Most scenarios to bring an image to life will be the light....I'm no landscaper photographer but I do know you can't just rock up and take shot..you need to try different times of day...look for nice dramatic clouds. You can plan for everything but the bloody weather plays the major part to the...

Not posted for while, here's a quick shot with a very basic one light setup..

I used to use nissin as my 1st speed light but you will soon see it has its reason for being cheap, mine didn't support high-speed sync and when using as a slave the pre-flash from the pop-up would cause the flash to fire to early...but it was a good starting point and worked ok on camera. Oh...

Page 35 is correct as it states, this will then allow for more ambient light and should balance the subject to background so not to get the rabbit in the head-lights kind of shot.

I assume you have already done the event now??? How did you get on? just in case my advice is below.... If you don't have a flash look for the best part in the venue for light to use maybe move table lamps/candles around to bring more light into the area.....grab a couple armchairs and pull...

The leaves and sky algae such a different exposure range no camera would be able to capture both dynamic ranges. You would have to do an HDR shot which is around 3 different shots at 3 different exposures, this would capture the sky,mid range and then the leaves. Blending all the photos together...

focus point is the leaves.....i would fill the frame with the leaves in this case as the rest of scene is just adding distraction. Unless the focus was well off?? Something caught you eye when taking the shot so fill the frame with that or you might have been trying to frame the statue with the...

So you can't just turn off the spot lights?.... A filter will drop your overall exposures but your still going to have the same kind of issue I would imagine unless the light your painting the car with has a higher output of light than the spot lights.

Check out our facebook page, I have teamed up with a friend to add as much info/resource about photography...should cover most of the basics. Click Me (Moderators please feel free to removes this if I'm not able to plug it)

I'm not sure what kind of metering mode you had set but it's under-exposed the shot as most people have already mentioned. If if you have a camera that can't really perform under low light conditions, if you had exposed correctly you would have had a better chance of pulling back in PP. The...
