Strobe portrait experiment
Camera mode: M
Shutter speed: 1/60
Aperture: 8.0
ISO: 400
Speedlite: right side, on side table
Camera flash: on
How to sync flash: First, turn on the flash. Second, make sure the mode is set to ETTL. Next, hold zoom button until 'master' comes on. Then, turn the nob down to slave. Last, turn on the camera with pop of flash on and take a picture (should work).
Okay so to achieve this lighting scheme its quite simple. First, adjust the camera to settings above with pop up flash. Second, have the subject stand about 3-4 feet from wall. Third, have speedlite on feet (stand) and place to the right, I had the speedlite on the a small table. Last, adjust the subject according and say cheese and press the shutter button.
Syncing Flash to Camera -Erica Gomez
To Sync the Speedlite 580EX II to the Canon Rebel I used the Off-Camera Cord as well as the Camera Bracket to hold the Camera and Flash Together or you can have someone hold the flash, like I did while taking the photo above.
Camera Settings
F-Stop: 8.0
Shutter Speed: 1/64 sec
Exposure Program- Manuel
Flash Settings
ETTL Mode
The flash was to the left the camera and pointing upwards to the ceiling.

Set Up: Pop up built-on camera flash and set up flash with umbrella toward the front, right side of subject.
Camera Settings: Hit the Menu button. Go to the first Red Camera icon in the top row. In the column of selections, choose Flash Control with the middle set button. Then choose Built-in flash function setting. The Built-in flash should be set at CustWireless. The Flash mode should be on E-TTL II. Finally, select the Wireless function and choose the second option.

Class discussion Tuesday
Darkrooms are Irrelevant and The Truth Matters
Posted by: Posted date: February 20, 2013 | 55 Comments
“If you want an abortion, you go to Planned Parenthood, and that’s well over 90 percent of what Planned Parenthood does.”
– Senator Jon Kyl, April 8, 2011 on the Senate Floor
This is not a post about abortion or Planned Parenthood. This is a discussion about veracity and why it matters in photojournalism. In fact, about 3% of Planned Parenthood’s services are abortion-related. When Sen. Kyl was confronted with the facts, his office responded with “his remark was not intended to be a factual statement.”
