Portfolio 5 of 80

During a recent wedding shoot, just as the reception was kicking off, the sun had set and an even illumination came over the sea and sky and lasted for just a few minutes.

It had been a very sunny and warm day and it was nice to get some shots with a "cooler" edge to them.

The image was originally portrait orientation but later cropped to eliminate "clutter" which is why the slight shadows from the fill in flash come from a light source to the left. The camera was vertical with flash attached to the hotshoe.

Personally I prefer fill in flash shots to be from a horizontal or "landscape" perspective as you generally end up with less noticeable shadows that way.
