New type of post / photo lesson
I will from time to time post images with accompanying hints and information that I deem to be helpful to aspiring photographers. I'm just trying to share some of my knowledge.
What we have here are portraits all done in a hurry using only one portable on camera strobe. The trick is of course to use a bracket that places the flash unit above the lens and high enough to prevent red eye. This also prevents annoying shadows especially if the subject is not too close to a wall. In one of the images there is a shadow but it could not be helped because the subject, sitting on a wheel chair, was very close to the rear wall. My bracket of choice is the so called Stroboframe that is easily available in most camera stores. It is a cheap items that makes life very easy. The camera was the Fuji S-2 Pro and these are out of camera JPEGS. Very few cameras were able to produce such great color without post production. There is some color contamination as the room was light wit florescent lights, a most difficult type of illumination that very few cameras' white balance can cope with.
