By The Window

Here’s Marie, by the window, in a restaurant (spot which one), patiently trying to look serene while her fella tries out his new flashgun:

Nikon D300, Sigma 10-20mm EX lens at 16mm, 1/2000 sec at f 5, ISO 200, hand held with Nikon SB-800 flash. I took this soon after I got the big SB-800 flashgun, and as I write, over a year later, I would still rate myself as no more than 3 out of 10 for my flash photography skills. It’s always an experiment with me, but this one simply worked beautifully, with the flash no more than a subtle highlight, adding to the lovely late afternoon light which was already coming through the window. Helps if you have a good model too
