Great work again as always Cindy. The coloring and depth is excellent. Out of curiousity what lens did you use for these?

elsaspet · Jul 19, 2006

Thank you guys again. 35 mm on every shot. I keep talking about this lens.....I know....but I love it.

Nice photos. I like the #3. What flash-mode did you used here? Slow sync?

I know I sound stupid, by I have no idea how to slow synch.
For this one I did slave another camera though, just to the right of where I was standing.

No no! I am the one who is too technical (...msc engeneer...) and doesn't understands anything about taking nice photos. Slow sync means, that you take the photo with slower shutter (like without a flash) and a flash, so the background is also nicely exponated, not only the subject (with flash)

So, if I understand you correctly, you didn't even used a flash?

Hi Cumi,
You are being hard on yourself. I bet your ability is much more than you give credit for.
No actually I used 2 flashes on this one. (3). Because it was really wide angle, I had to back way up. Actually, I got on the sound mixer's stage on top of one of those huge speakers. I had a 580 flash on camera, but also slaved another 580 flash at a 45 degree angle to the main flash. I did it because of how far I had to get away to get the shot. My on camera 580 had no chance of making it all the way to the center, so the one just off camera, got in there and lit it up. I hope that makes sense..........I'm really really really tired............. LOL.
