Always furthering our photography skills, Jen & I attended an all-day seminar with Bob & Dawn Davis, two photographers from Chicago. The two work as a husband/wife team, which was intriguing to us, obviously. Bob is the photographer and Dawn is the photoshopper/album designer.
Having filmed Tony Parker and Eva Longoria's wedding and being a go-to photographer for Oprah, I was very interested in seeing what Bob could teach us. We learned much about lighting from Bob. He took us outside to show us high speed flash sync. Here he is taking what I call the "rockstar" photo of our friend Robin and her daughter Brynn:
For the geeks out there, this is the result of using high speed flash sync in manual mode. It stays strictly TTL the entire time for metering and there is no flash on camera. Now back to plain English :). Here is Bob showing me the result in camera:
It was a great day and we learned a lot from Bob & Dawn. We email each other back and forth now and Jen & I look forward to a future session when they tour again.
