[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 270942, member: 17556"] I do want to add, for those other flash/strobists out there, that some think that those old hot shoe flash units don't do well for strobes. Let me tell you, the first group shot I did with the two Vivitar 283's, on full power, blew the shot completely out. I had to turn them way down to get the fill effect I needed and even then the shot was a little too bright. I actually think I ended up using the shots that used no flash and I added fill light in Lightroom. And another sort of tip I will add. . . . I used a lot more of the tools in Lightroom than I have ever used. I used the Graduated ND Filter tool on almost every shot and the Brush tool on some of the faces that were not so well lit with even light or that had flat shadow to them. Lightroom is just a tremendous help. [/QUOTE]
