I love this image! Love the way you were able to use natural light to get such a flawless picture. Sometimes natural light can be more beautiful than creating something artificially. Thanks for sharing Jason! Wow, I can see why the client loved this image…. I love this image! Love the way you were able to use natural light to get such a flawless picture.

I actually didn't have on the camera. It was on an off shoe cord held out to my right. For this shot I just used my Metz on camera flash. I actually didn’t have on the camera.

I actually didn't even think about my white balance. I set the camera white balance to "flash" and adjusted a little bit in post. NORMALLY I use a gray card and color chart but there just wasn't enough time. I mean the sun was going down sooooo fast I just wanted to capture a great shot and I also know my camera so well by now that I can see what the shot will look like with each white balance setting. Now don't think that this is the correct way to handle this ALL the time, but there are times when you just gotta shoot. I mean back in the film days you used what film you had in your bag if you didn't have the correct film you just went with what you had. Thank you Thorsten !
