Last week in Sally's photographic techniques class we had a very quick introduction to flash photography. It is a subject that next semester, we will be focusing on and I'm super excited about it.
I love photographing people doing what they love to do best. Over the past couple of years that has been climbing, because that is also a passion of mine. While away last winter in Hampi bouldering I had the opportunity to play around with my flash taking photos of my friends. The nature of bouldering (climbing on boulders with crash mats), particularly in the sun, means that we are prodominantly climbing in the shade which can make for some quick difficult images: dark rock and foreground against a bright sky behind. So it was here I some great fun with my off camera flash.
Setting my Nikon D300 to commander mode and using the built-in flash as the master and my speed-light as the slave (synced up through the Groups options), here are some of the images I got. What do you think?
