Description

I love using my Canon 580ex flash off camera. It has opened up a whole new world of lighting my subjects to get a more professional result.

For this shot I used the Sun behind Emma to act as a rim light and then I had a 580ex flash with its head zoomed out to 105 to camera right and aimed it at Emmas face to get some crosslighting. A second 580 flash was used on camera to act as a fill light so that there were no harsh shadows.

The late afternoon sun gave the final touch by giving these wonderful hi-lights to the clouds, the grass and the valley below.

Cheers Adam
