As for the settings, I really don't remember. I will start writing them down though now that I know you would like to know those settings. Well I used my Metz 54mz-4.

The hair blowing in the wind made me think of feathers. Wonderful Job! It's quite obvious you are well versed in color and composition. I would like to get some more informtion on the setting and the Metz flash you used? Thanks, :-) This shot invokes feeling of being in a Native American grass land.

It was the first thing I though of when I saw it. The sense of wind and sun in this image is very powerful. What focal length was used?

What focal length was used?

You know one of the best pieces of advice I can give to anyone is to just go out and shoot. When I started shooting all we had was film. So I shot TONS of 6x7 and 35mm slide film. I would make notes for every frame and compared my notes to each frame when I got my film back. I spent a load of money on film and processing and that was my education. Today with digital being so great, one can shoot as often as he or she wants and see the results right away. If you don't like the shot, delete it. But always learn from your mistakes. You literally have an unlimited amount of "digital film" and it won't cost you a dime ! So get out there and shoot ! Experiment, take chances ;-) Hi Donny,

I haven't yet. I like to have corol of my lighting. I have known about off-camera flash, but do not feel as comfortable with it. I see here what potential there is with it, though. I think part of what makes me enjoy this image as well is the cropping. I need to just get outside and give it a try. My locaton in mind has always been something like this, out from eveything where I have space and time to experiment. I’m really drawn to green, which has always made me want to shot outside.
