    SP experiment

    Rough experiment with an off camera flash

    would be better if the shade of my nose didn't have so much contrast,
    either by moving the light to be in front of me, or adding a second light

    I exposed for the sky
    trees were black in the sooc, light them in PP
    played with the distance of the flash so my t-shirt wasn't overexposed, next time I'll wear a darker one

    It works really well. I agree with the nose shadow. And again, the shirt can be toned down with a bit of level blending.

    Works quite good IMO Armando. I could see you being just a tad less bright and yes it would be a little better if the light was a bit farther towards the back of the camera. But the background is very well exposed and the light streaks on the grass are good. I like your pose, doesn't seem like you rushed back. Good placement in the frame, compositionally speaking. I want to see more of these.

    This looks good. I think the flash is a bit too bright and pulls you away from the picture. As for the nose shadow, next time try committing a bit more to one side.
