Physteh Reunion Shoot

It was great to reconnect with fellow alumnus of Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology or Physteh as they call it.  This was my first event shoot done with a hand-held SB-600 flash optically slaved into the D90 camera.

What worked well:

• Good vibe, communication
• Fill flash worked great, even though is was used bare.  It livens the eyes and opens up shadows.
• 85mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor lens
• Tried and true Lowepro Off Trail bag allowed for intermittent shooting and schmoozing

What did not work

• My choice of ISO below 200.  As a result few photos were blurry because of a short exposure.
• Not aggressive enough use of exposure compensation, possibly flash compensation to account for a strong sun.
• Need a contact card
