Practice is Good

At the Ocean Beach Cleanup, I wanted to capture my buddies hard at work on the laptop. Unfortunately, the ambient light level was very high, but their faces were deeply shadowed. I also wanted to dial down the sky to give the photo a dark and moody look for the heck of it. I've practiced with setting up my flash many times now and it's beginning to be second nature to me. That's good because my subjects were not happy to have the flash hitting their faces! Flash info: Bare flash at 1/2 or full power, 50mm zoom, 7:00 camera left, 4 feet away from subject.
