Fun w/ E-TTL: Weakends + others @ the Brass Rail, Fort Wayne

[bacchanal]

Well it was fun until I realized that I should have been using a lens hood and then the batteries in my main flash died...but by then it was past my bedtime anyway.

I'm getting there I think. I'm not totally happy with the rear flash and I think I might gel it next time (or just get rid of it)...but overall I was pretty pleased with the potential of this set up.

you strobist!

these look very good and natural. well done.

I'm not really much of a strobist...E-TTL is a pretty nice crutch to lean on. Being able to dial in FEC and ratios at the camera is ridiculous.

But yeah...it's fun to play with lights.

Pretty cool Drew. You made the lighting look way better that it is!

Nice work, definitely feeling #5.

Nice shots, but here in TO, "The Brass Rail" is a strip club.

Really great series you got there :)

Thanks for the comments guys.

Oh man...sorry to disappoint you. I bet you had high hopes when you clicked on this thread. But for real...people stripping in this particular bar is generally not a good thing.

So, where's the 'behind the scenes' shot so we can see your setup? :-) Oh, right, Great Job!
