How did you light her so well without ruining the effect of the sunset in the back?

Click to expand...

Off camera flash and a 28" softbox with a bit of luck

Technically: I stopped down to f8 to get some detail out of the sunset, but had to run two flashes to get enough light out of the softbox sitting a few feet away from her to the right. Being at f8 brought the whole exposure down and so I stayed one stop above my max sync speed on the camera to get the sunset how I wanted it without having to raise my ISO past 100. Still a lot of luck involved.

Ahhhh I see I see! Thank you for taking the time to explain that to me, I really do appreciate it. It is a wonderful photo... Your wife is very beautiful.

Funny... I was listening to AC/DC as I was scrolling down, and she looked like she was jammin' and listening to the same song I was!

Wow I love some of the photos in here, they are stunning. Here are a few of mine, not too bad for my first year of photography, but I have so much more to learn and am looking forward to learning it!

I love these! What are those little beads in the last picture? They look almost like Dippin' Dot ice cream!

I love the close up Dandy, well shot!

Wow, some of the photo's in this thread are just breath-taking! I'm not currently working with a DSLR (but in the process of picking one out to order), just a P&S at the moment, so my photo's couldn't even compare to some of these. But, for me, these have been some of my best photo's taken this year.
