a favourite photo!

Thank you, everyone! I'm very happy with this capture as well.

For those who are interested:

ISO100, 24mm, f/10, 1/250s.

Natural sunset light plus two hot shoe flashes (with stofen diffuser caps) trained on B&G - you can see the flare from one of them at top right because the image I uploaded here is still a draft. ;)

From memory, -1 exposure compensation and +2 flash compensation.

Processed roughly in Adobe Lightroom.

I will now attempt to upload a side by side comparison of the RAW image with the draft processed version...

Happy to provide further info if asked...

Michael,

You have some amazing talent.  I love this picture and have been wanting to know how it was shot.  Where specifically did you set the two speedlights?  Was one speedlight set with a higher exposure?

Thank you, Danny. Sorry it has taken me nearly a year to respond to you!

The two flashes were actually on the same vertical axis - one about a foot higher then the other, firing into the bride and groom from camera right. My assistant was standing on the rock you see at right of frame.

Hope this answers your question?

em :)
