[Notas - Normas] Nota do Artista
Location:
Crystal Cove in Corona Del Mar, Newport CA.

Background:
After dinner, I asked my friend if he could help me with photographic experimentation. I am one of those learning photographers who are shy and always refrain from photographing people. I don't think I'm ready to photograph strangers yet. The anxiety is too great. I have decided to start with people I know.

Execution:
After sunset, the colors became alive. The waves were strong. I set my shutter speed to 1/60 and aperture f/7.1. The exposure was to my liking for the background. At first, I only used a strobe (Canon Speedlite 580EX) which has a built-in wireless transmiiter to fill-in. I mounted it on my camera and set it to TTL mode. Then I decided to experiment with side lighting. I mounted a wireless transmitter (Canon Speedlite transmitter ST-E2) on the camera. I held the camera on one hand and the strobe on the other. I aimed the strobe to the side of his face. Finally, my friend told me he wanted a picture of him holding my strobe. I told him it was a great idea and here is the photo.
