Portrait Practice

[smoke665]

I've been trying to regain some experience in ambient portraits, especially with HSS. These were taken today.

First is a color version, Shot at 1/400, f/2.8, 180mm

I'm actually preferring the B&W over the color. I didn't use color correcting gels on the flash and it's showing. All editing done in LR, I'm really liking the latest updates.

Nice series. Ever have a look at the HSS tutorials here? Studied the technique but never did anything with it. Maybe this summer...
