Lee Miles / Thunderhawk @ the Brass Rail - Fort Wayne, IN - 8/16/08

More sacrilegious flash work. 5D + 35L + 580EX. Edited in LR2.

#2, 4 and 6 through 8 are quite nice actually

I like #2 best.

5 and 6 for me.

Atta boy! #5 is my favorite, you can barely tell there was flash used...

Yeah...the 'ol crank the iso and bounce the flash trick.

I was going to use a CTO + yellow gel to try to compensate for the color of the room and the lights. I sometimes use a stofen to hold filters in front of the flash, but I'm never happy with the results when using single flash/stofen at the Rail. I think next time I'll try taping the gels to a bounce card...might improve skin tones a little, who knows. I'm splitting hairs I guess...I mean, it is the Rail, but I always like to try something new when I shoot there. B&W works too.

Oh, and thanks for the replies folks!

good set drew, i like 2 and 6 the best.

i used to have that same sub pop shirt ('loser') that you can see in #3.

Very nice set! If you start doing something weird with gels at least give us an image of how you put them in place. I'm planning to just tape 'em from a Cinegel book but I have so little opportunity to use flash.
