Great pictures and interesting comments.
I particularly like the second one: nice composition.

Jurgen,

I completely agree you should use the shutter speed to control the ambient and the aperture to control the flash. Because I’m limited to 1/200, I had no choice but using the aperture to further limit the ambient. Since the aperture also controls the power of the strobe, I had to control the strobe-power from the flash instead of using the aperture.

Comments like yours are the reason I started this blog!

It’s a great shot, but I tend to disagree about your statement of having to close down the aperture to darken the room. In my opinion, you won’t darken the room by closing down the aperture (when you use a strobe as your main light) but you do that with your shutter speed. Your aperture controls the light coming from the strobe, your shutter speed the ambient light.
That’s my two cents worth of input.
Great shot nevertheless

Mooie belichting van dit tafereeltje. Ik vind het erg sfeervol.

Als je vader karikaturist is, en je zus ook bij mijn broer in de klas gezeten heeft, dan kan het wel kloppen dat jij bij mijn zus in de klas gezeten hebt.
