Of course, I did have my rimlight strobe a bit too powerful--it caused a major blown highlight on the mother's hair. However, I still really liked how it came out.


strobist: 1 Vivitar 285, camera left, 1/2 power, 1/2 CTO gelled, shot through a white umbrella. 1 Vivitar 285HV, camera right (behind subjects & high--visible in picture), 1/2 power, 1/2 CTO & Yellow gelled, bare. Both flashes triggered via Cybersyncs.
