Last night I tried John's (I think it was John) suggestion about clipping a light to the strobe to help aim it. While it seems to help with aiming, when photographing musician in fairly low light, shining a flashlight in their face while trying to set up the camera seemed to be rather distracting and annoying.
I didn't spend a lot of time shooting, but I got a few decent shots. I'm not unhappy with the results: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157625975573645/ I do think that it would work a lot better though if I had a small flash, maybe a ringflash, on the camera to give it a bit of fill, so the shadows on the face aren't quite so harsh. Unfortunately, I can't quite figure out how to do this. Has anyone tried something like this? And succeeded? I suppose that with the K-x, I might be able to do something using the pop-up as both the controller and the fill, but I'd want the pop-up under exposing by a stop or two. I'm not quite sure how to accomplish this though. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
