Check out Shoot Review 002 where I describe the settings I use for a sunset photo shoot and the light challenges that occur as the sun goes down. These tips are simple for anyone to follow you just need to practice up on the skill of off camera strobe (flash) photography. Feel free to ask photography related questions on our YouTube channel of this video.

Family Photography by Pierce Brunson
Results from a photo shoot on an overcast day. My goal for 2014 is to use my 70-200 2.8 “all world” lens. In this video I actually say that I will be using that lens and show you the results. Well, I chicken out and head back to my trusty 28-135. Oh well.
The key here is taking the images they want. They wanted traditional images with a nice background. I think we accomplished that. I also used my 580EX II at 20 feet away on +2. I have to have it there when I shoot at F-11. I wasn’t too happy about the location as it has been overgrown and a bit too woodsy for my tastes but today there were some nice shots to capture in this area.
Canon 50D
ISO 500-800 (Which I hate going that high)
F-stop 9-11 (I shoot at these ranges to get a nice look at the sky, on a grey day you need to get as much detail as possible)
Shutter 125
Flash: Canon 580EXII +2 at a distance of 15 feet.

Mother and Daughter Sunset by Pierce Brunson
Christmas Day in Tampa Bay where the sunset is beautiful. Mother and young daughter at Pass-a-Grille Beach looking for a nice colorful sunset. My goal was to make sure we had great images that the mother could use for a calendar gift. This was a good shoot for me as I was able to shoot slow and think about the settings that I wanted to use. Off camera flash (strobe) is an excellent process. I didn’t use a diffuser for this one.

Canon: 50D
