LOVE THE 5D!

Hi elysium,

Beautiful shots! Looks like you used the 580EX II with the head facing forward for direct flash. Did you dial down the 580EX II's output? If so, would you please tell us approximately how much?

Thanks!

Thanks.

These were all bounced off the ceiling. I never go for direct flash for this kind of work. Flash is always set to ETTL and I have to keep an eye out for reflective surfaces. I may dial it down to -1/3 FEC IF I really have to. This is what I usually do with an explanation below.

I aim for facial/body light only and since I work at high ISO, the light spreads to hair highlights. If I need, the lowest I will go is 45 degrees. Facing it straight on just washes out this richness in colour since these are not PP'ed and tend not to even bother.

I always try and aim my flash slightly infront since it gives a nice catchlight in the eyes also. I do the same with my 430EX but use a Stofen Omnibounce which is also nice since I can give that bulb effect and further soften shadows but upon shooting with the 580EX II, it seems I can get away without it. For the richness in colour, its all done by ambient light so high ISO and shooting wide open.

Hope that helps.

Nice STi. Jax has a nasioc meet the last thursday of the month. Too bad neither of you are close.

Here's one more from me, before I call it a night.

5D + 100mm macro.

mhm i think it lacks contrast a bit... tones seem to be quite flat. Curves should fix it? What do you use for B&W conversion?

Here's a version of the 2nd picture where I've used contrast-masking in CS2 to try to preserve the contrast in the monument as well as the sky (also using a slightly different tritone.) There's a wee bit of a halo, but that's from Smugmug's sharpening after resizing, the original doesn't show it.

Back again... had some time today and did a little walking around the neighborhood... was practicing manual settings and was shooting some traditional flower stuff when i ran into this little plant/weed (don't know) and i don't recall ever seeing anything like it before... all of the new leaves had this white line around them and the older leaves looked just normal with no line.
