Following on from the last post, these images are further tests for Saturday's wedding in Knightsbridge. I predict and hope that the ambient light in Wilton Crescent will be greater than the streets off Rayner's Lane but this was a great test to see where the light level was and how much flash I could use.
Here you see colour, sepia and black an white renderings from the shoot - all shot at 1600 iso and processed through Lightroom and looking good.
I shot with a D200 c/w a 50mm f1.4 lens that was having problems focusing and I had to move Hannah from shade to an area lit with the street light and then the focusing was better and when viewed no screen all was fine. Flash was an SB24 c/w full CT orange filter on the flash at 1/16th power and through a small Chimera softbox all triggered with Pocket Wizards. The CT filter balanced the flash and ambient quite well as I have had to balance many none filtered images in the past and it is hard and extra work that a little gel can fix so simply.
All looks good and roll on Saturday!!!

Seeing that you'll be in the neighbourhood; time & motion willing, maybe pop in for a pre/post cuppa tea? I think you have my mobile? Cousin G
Would love to but starting in Holland Park and finishing near Buckingham Palace at around 1am - might need a stiff drink rather than a cuppa!
Hope it's a good one. Judging by the weather report it'll have to be a hot toddy!! Hopefully try and persuade you into central London in the next 2 weeks? CuzG
