30 — Rose Ambrosia

Sometimes I really enjoy executing other peoples concepts, it gives me a chance to test my methods in new territories  & I end up creating images that I wouldn’t other wise. Variety is the spice of life & all that…

This was also a great chance to try out hypersync on the Canon 600EX-RT & ST-E3-RT. This was shot just before 12 on a very sunny day — the light was really harsh so I used the flash camera right with a shoot through umbrella to ease the bluntness of the shadows. Worked a treat!

Behind The Scenes

This is actually the final photo before I comped in the background from a shot without the lighting. This meant I could get the light even closer to the subject.
