Arrived and took some time to familiarize myself with the strobe. To no avail. It shut off after a while. I had no natural light to work with and had to use the on board flash. I knew this would create the annoying hanging shadow effect cast behind the subject, but had to get something.
I was at 1/25 with an fstop of f8.
Dan Cassino was a difficult shoot. He was a very tightly wound subject and could not get him to smile. It seemed as if he would break apart if he were to show any emotion. The most natural expressions just would not come... What he thought was a smile was nothing different from his regular expression...
I did manage a few breaks and captured some versions of a smile. But again these were overshadowed by the cast of shadow.
If my grade is below a B for this batch, I will again shoot and hopefully with some natural light, as I feel this is my strong spot - exploiting the natural lighting through the windows... not necessarily my "window" shot, but at least having some natural sunlight.....
