lovin the cheezy background music
I tend to agree with you 100% that the non flash photo looks much better still than the force flashed photo.
Great video, great tips! Ready for the book now
Great tips!
I just loooove the idea behind the red eye feature on a camera. Blasting light at your subject to force a physiological response. I’m not being sarcastic. Sometimes I wish my camera had a hand that would come out a slap someone that refuses to do as asked. OK. I’ll stick to landscapes.
great enthusiasm, i loved this video.
Really great stuff – I’d bring the music level down if you can, it’s getting in the way of your dialogue a few times.
To be honest, I think the non-flash picture on the left @ 3:39 looks better than the one with force flash.
I tend to stay away from flash unless it’s diffused light.
Very helpful, thank you.
