My trip to Colorado in April inspired me in many ways. One of those was in using my flash more in my photography. So earlier this week, I decided to just get out there and play with it. Thankfully Boo was willing to be my model. 😉
I enjoyed it 😉 Purposely, I chose to do it in the bright afternoon sun. Why? Because the conditions were NOT exactly ideal…and because they never are when we want them too. I wanted to play with them in a less-than-ideal-situation partly because if we always sit around waiting for the perfect picture taking situation to happen… we’d wouldn’t get many pictures taken!
(the book and pen were her choice – not mine! 😉 I was just glad she was letting me snap her picture 😉 ) Good chance to play with rim lighting.
I think this is my favourite picture of the afternoon. It’s something about her expression, I can’t explain it. Almost as if there’s a hint of the woman she’s going to grow up into. One of those “catching a moment” pictures
Always, Aims
P.s. Note to self: If you’re planning to play with your flashes…it might not be the best idea to a get a five year old who doesn’t usually sit still anyways…to be your model. 😉

You have done a great job .Especially your Model Boo.
Thanks, yeah I’m always happy when she sits still long enough to allow me to snap her picture 😉
I know this feeling I have the same here when I try to snap a picture of my Skogkatt.
Oh I love it! What type of flash do you have?
Awe thank you Emily! For these pictures I used a Nikon SB-600
Great job Aims! Keep practicing! 🙂
Thanks Duc! 🙂 I’m starting to like flash more, excited to play with it more in the (near) future!
Flash is definitely a powerful tool. I love how it can change the mood and feel of a photo. I’ll be posting on FB some senior photos I did with flash. 🙂
