Thanks! I knew I wasn’t going to be able to overpower the sun with a single SB-28 in the Lumiquest, so I had to switch gears mentally and use them to work together. If you think about it, the ‘noon sun’ isn’t at a bad angle. It’s the ‘noon people’ who are at a bad angle! Tilt them the right way, and it all works.

Wow, great use of the mid-day sun. Usually you see people trying to overpower it with strobes to create their own light. I like how you complemented it with your strobe instead.

You’re welcome! While just using available light has its limitations, there are still things one can do to get a great outcome. I’m not comfortable doing an entire session that way though. I would feel like I hadn’t done anything if there weren’t strobes involved at some point.

Matt – thanks again for taking time to share your craft with the rest of us. I really like the way the shadow falls diagonally across her neck on the first one. All about the positioning of the model – I must remember that.
