With my new Sony a7Rii in hand, I did my first official photoshoot. The key was to get the Fox Theatre marquis in the background for the shoot. What I didn't know before we started was that we would have access to the entire theatre while it was empty, and my light kit didn't work at all. I wish I had what I had learned from a photography workshop the weekend after this (using an incamera flash to get tack shart shots). It was a big opportunity to do this shoot in this location (usally cost prohibitive) and it was a lot of fun doing this with my niece and her fiance. I'll post a few more shots I have of the location.
I'm also learning how to use LR 12 and PS, so the learning curve is huge for me at an important moment, but I loved helping out how I could, if I could. Lots to learn!
I am so impressed wioth all you hav already learned and your continued efforts at iincreasing your knowledge. Beautiful portrait that they shoud cherish
@phil_howcroft No they don't! I had a light set up for this shoot, which didn't work at all :(
My old Canon has an in-camera flash, and I learned you can control the intensity of it (I had it as a second camera on my shoot, but alas, I never used it because we were running out of time after I tried to get my light kit to work!). Anyway, I was able to learn how to use my Canon for flash work without much effort--just a week after I could have used that info! Always the way.
