Engagement Session: Shannon & Jason

Filed under: , , , , , , , by:

Engagement session at the waterfront. Couple showed up little late and I lost all the available light. Flash was the only option. Umbrella was not an option since there's quite a bit of wind. David and I end up using beauty dish. Little flash image and grid spot would been nicer. It was the lowest power setting on my Alienbee 1600 powered by Vegabond. Can you se the bridge behind Shannon and Jason? We were right next to the Hawthorn bridge and I believe that's Morrison (first bridge illuminated by Willamette light brigade and there's 16 colored flood-lamps).
I didn't particularly like the flash look and we decide to use modeling light as a video light. 5D Mark II is capable in shooting in high ISO. Believe it or not, next two images were shoot at ISO 2000. Noise reduction was off and I didn't use any noise remove software either. WB was changed to Tungsten.
