Javi closeup
During a recent trip to St. Louis to visit with friends and their nine month old twin boys, I managed to get some pretty nice photos, shooting 100% candid with flash.
Most of the time I was working with bounced light from a camera mounted speedlite, but I found that many of my favorite shots from the trip were made with the Neewer 16" speedlite mounted "softbox", hand held off camera on a 3' ETTL cord.
All flash work was done manual. (no ETTL "auto" flash shooting)
It was a great exercise in working with light in candid settings with subjects that never stop moving!
