so, assuming that you aim the speedlight right at your subjects, how does one avoid getting those pinlights? that seems to be my problem. I’m new at this, so please tell me what i can do to change it. thanks!

Thanks…that was really simple to follow. I’ve was always taught to put the same exposure on the subject for fill, as on the background…is that a rule of thumb? I’ve often wondered if it was followed by anyone other than my high school teacher!

I am a CS3 and Lightroom 2 girl over here. These images are stunning. Thank you for explaining how to use the light the way you did, I think something clicked for the first time when I read it. I am printing this off and practicing today!

Sonia your work is exceptional. I really love the hazed over ones. I have Cs3, and would absolute use the heck out of these actions.
