8-30: A Tough Decision

On August 30, 2009, in photo365, photography, by Dan Perovich

1/200 sec @ f/4.5, ISO 200, 50 mm (EF50mm f/1.8 II)  Tonight I was “on duty” to capture some family moments at my fiancee’s sister’s house.  Here is one for the few pictures I took.  I was roaming around the house with the 580EX II flash in the hotshoe of the camera.  The flash was set on ETTL so that flash power would be determined automatically for me.  I used the ceiling to bounce the light off of so that the apparent light source was much bigger than the strobe itself.  This helped to not only eliminate red eyes, but also to make the light look more natural and reduce harsh shadows.
