Prom

It was my brother in-law's prom this week, so I happily volunteered to do photos for him and his friends.

This was probably my favorite shot of the day.

Strobist info:
- Sun high and behind subjects
- Ezybox hotshoe high and in front of camera, just out of frame. With SB-26 on 1/2 power (triggered with skyports)
- 3 stop ND filter on the lens so I could shoot at 1/200 and reasonable aperture.

    Amazing!
    it always seems in jumping pictures one person is still on the ground.
    great job capturing everyone

    Thanks for your uproarious post on the wedding beach! Had to laugh. And thanks for letting me use it on a post about the basics of a small business start up.

    Keep up the good work - looking for more great pictures from you!
