Here are a couple of family portraits taken deep in a shaded forest during mid-day using off camera flash. I mounted my flash to a light stand and umbrella adapter with a silver umbrella to take these images. The flash was set on manual and triggered using a wireless remote. As you can see, some digital editing was done to the background of the images. Equipment used; EOS 40D, EF 24-105mm f4L IS, and Speedlite 580EX II.
Love your work! Always good to see what others are up to!
I really enjoy your work!
