I thought it would be fun to start a thread to post up my assignments to get critiques and help me along the way through all of it. Our first assignment was to shoot 2 indoor/2 outdoor portraits using ambient light only. It went ok. I struggle a bit with it for various reasons including lack of creativity. But it seemed to go over quite well with the teacher and the class. If you are interested in those photos,

For our next assignment, we are to shoot 2 indoor/2 outdoor portraits using strobe burn (ambient light with a flash for fill). I have only done this a two maybe three times so its still new to me. I am shooting with a Nikon D300, 50mm 1.8, 35mm 1.8, Alien Bee 800, PCB 22" beauty dish, crappy little no name shoot thru umbrella. I am waiting to hear back from someone local with a Vagabond II battery pack so I dont have to run an extension cord to power my light and most likely a 48" PCB shoot through umbrella.
Normally these assignments are due the following week (4 hour class once a week) but because a lot of people seem to get confused on how to use the shutter/aperture for ambient/flash lighting, he wants to spend more time on it in class. Next week he is going to bring his camera to class with some lights to show how this is done. Should be a lot more fun than the previous shoot.
Anyway I hope you guys enjoy this thread and enjoy teaching me a long the way. Ive always gotten great feed back on this forum
