October 4: Warm Greetings

San Juan, Puetro Rico


Besides attending sessions and presenting, I volunteered to be the “official” photographer of our conference. I shot a couple hundred images Saturday and Sunday and they will be displayed as a slide show before and after each plenary session. Here we have two old friends greeting each other the first night.
Virtually all my shots have been with a flash which has been quite educational for me. I’m learning about the difference between the built-in flash and the add-on shoe-mounted 550 EX. The built-in flash shots required more work in Photoshop than the ones with the 550 EX. Either way it is still a struggle to get the color corrected in many cases.
I loved shooting all these candids. People seemed quite willing to turn and smile for me.

Canon EOS 10D ,Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
f/5.6 @1/60th. Flash. 100mm. 400 ISO full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

This is very nice Robin. Very warm and evocative. GO buy yourself a stofen omnibounce and you will be a happy camper.

Nice capture Robin, have you tried shooting in RAW? This way you can change the WB to get the color the way you like, I am becoming very fond of RAW. :-)

White balance problems with flash? Isn't there a flash white balance setting? Otherwise try 5400K in your RAW editing software. Or sunlight.

Nice ! She looks a little like Hillary Clinton (?). I get "stuck" with the photo duties at our seminars as well and it's a lot of fun and quite rewarding. I think they love your pictures, as we do Robin.
