I had the opportunity to take photos of the Lovely Libby who was a willing participant and wasn't put off by my constant apologising for being slow with the set up. It's been too long since I've done outdoor off camera flash portraits. I was hoping to use the Sun as my primary but it hid behind a cloud and the crisp autumnal yellows came out a bit faded.
Still trying to get back into the swing of things, the little things you forget, like...
- never run f2.8 on the 70-200mm at the long end unless I've nailed my focusing,
- or keeping the conversation and banter flowing with subtle directions for posing, so the photos don't come out samey,
- or avoiding the uncomfortable silences with my tongue poking out the corner of my mouth in concentration on settings.
- or dial back the hairline light!

| Leaf colours hadn't quite turned and the sun was hiding behind clouds, will need to try another evening. |
