Here is a shot from my first session with off-camera flash. The subject is my fiance and we had a few minutes to kill before dinner. Of course, I suggested that we take some photos. Capital Park was nearby.
The flash is coming in camera right a few feet away at a 45 degree angle from her face. I didn’t do a great job of documenting the lighting setup on this shot but I promise to do better in the future.
But the lighting looks really good to my completely non-professional eye.
