Outdoor portraits w/ 580 & 430

[jargaguy]

I took some pics of some young girls in Hobokens RiverFront Park. I used a 530 as Master and 430 as the main fill light. It was off to their left about 7-8 from them. I was using my 70-200 so I was about 15 feet from the 430. It fired every time except 1 when I think I went beyond 25'.

I also practicing SK watermarking technique. Made one and batched the rest. Wooohooo

What do you think.

I also practicing SK watermarking technique. Made one and batched the rest.Your watermarks are extremely distracting. You should make them smaller, more transparent, and move them from the center of you model's face.

I gotta agree on the watermarks. They make me not want to bother looking at the lighting.

OK. I will try again with the WM.
