Fill and Balancing

This week for Advanced Techniques we learned fill and balancing. Our eyes can perceive details in a scene for a wider range of light than a camera sensor. So, we had to shoot in day light and use our flash to fill in the shadows in either situation so that the camera sensor can see the details in both the light and dark areas. It was tough to get the light to look believable using a flash on a cord. Here's my select:

Blair Bopp (left) and Ataley Boulicault (right) refine their t-shirt design for the MU Horticulture Club at Acme Hot & Fresh T-shirts on Ninth St. in Columbia, Mo. on Nov. 09, 2009. While neither MU student majors in horticulture, they participate in the club to support one of their friends who is an officer.

And here's the lighting diagram. As you can see, this was done at +3 bouncing off of the ceiling. The poor flash had such a hard time since I was kneeling and the ceiling was relatively high.
