[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 185709, member: 13076"] So yes actually I started out with off-camera flash and wireless triggers but for some reason had trouble balancing the light with ambient. So, then I said to myself to heck with it I'll just put it back on camera and bounce the darn thing which is nuts but I pointed it (without any diffuser) at some large tree trunks to the left of the scene and sure enough the bounced light added a bit of fill. Later on I brought in a large amber reflector which gave the later images the bit of warm glow on the subject and filled up the face a bit. I put it on the ground a few feet in front of the model with me just behind it. There is actually a small lake immediately behind the rock and the model's feet were just maybe a couple of feet from the water. The shots were taken near the former home of Ralph Waldo Emerson, who is a favorite philosopher of mine. [/QUOTE]
