Bay Area Strobist meetup at Alviso was a ton of fun despite the chilly weather. We were lucky to catch two bikers who agreed to model for us. What worked:
- Single bare handheld SB800 flash on macho bikers with harsh low sun light.
- Communication communication communication.
- Post processing in dramatic fashion with use of gradient filters and heavy vignetting.
What I did wrong
- Did not manage to underexpose the sky as I planned. My plan to remedy this: (1) position model with sun to the side and NOT behind thus lowering sky intensity, (2) go faster than synch speed - use SB800 on a cord.
- Could not keep up with fast changing lighting conditions
- Should have keep shooting with sun below horizon - gave up too soon because of the freezing weather.
