Solo Strobist Meetup

by theyeticom

I did a photo meetup on meetup.com, however people couldn't make it. (after I went to jump start one person's car). So... I tried to hold it solo, Here is the progression.

I put a lot of titles and descriptions in. Feel free to comment.

Hmm a bit dark, some light from the flash though.
whoops wrong lens shade, hmm the flash isn't firing
ZOT!! yep, the flash is on, the sky is correctly exposed though.
hmm, the building is a bit over exposed, let me add that grid.
grid on, now the building is not quite so bright, flash turned down too.
The sun is providing a nice rim light high camera left.
The camera is on a light stand, time to get the tripod
Can't find the bolt to for the tripod shoe
glasses angled for no reflection
No glasses for slightly blurry world
Let's see how this looks.
hmm, need to let the flash charge…

Sunset is ok, but I am sure I can do better.
