Human Lightstand

ISO: 400    f/16.0    1/80sec

I did not take this picture. Claire did.

So Claire got an assignment for a bullying picture for the newspaper. A bunch of use went to help her take it but I ended up being the human lightstand.
We started out taking the picture in the stairs to nowhere. We tried multiple different angles and flash placements and settings. But we just couldn't get it to work. The people who were being bullied were at the bottom, I (the lightstand) was on the ledge just over them pointing the flash on top of their heads, Josh was a few steps from the top of the stairs with a light behind his fist. After about an hour, we called smith. When he finally arrived, he told us our set up wasn't necessarily wrong but it would never work just like we wanted. So we moved to the spot where the above picture is. I was standing on the right side of the picture and I was positioned in between Josh and Kenzie. I had a 580 flash, and I'll be honest..I don't remember what the settings were. By helping with this picture, I learned a little bit more about lighting people and where to stand.
