First Studio Session using flash - 1st August 2011

This was the first session we had in the studio using flash. We were simply experimenting with the lights - setting up different senarios using the modeling lights, and trying out different ways of triggering the flash.

At first, because I didnt have a port in my camera for the sinc cable I tryed triggering the flash by using the 'master and slave' technique, where I had the small built-in flash on my camera as master and the studio lights set to slave. This however wasn't effective as the flash from my camera clashed with the studio flashes - ruining the lighting set up. We then went on to use a hot shoe adapter to attatch the sinc cable to my camera, which made the end photo results much more effective!

Here are some examples:
