I have had the Sekonic Flashmate L-308S for almost two years now. But it has’nt been my best friend – I’m not familiar with it. I think I know how to use it, but the results is’nt any good.
Do you have any tricks or how-to’s? Some say the built-in lightmeter in a camera is allways the best. Others say a lightmeter is more reliable.
Any help?
Two days ago I went to this break dance event. Break dance is coming back up to the surface now after years, and that’s great!
I was disappointed though about the poor lighting conditions. So I went deep into my camerabag for my flash. After just one shot with it, breakers came up to my deeply concerned and saying they would prefer that I did’nt used it. “It’s really a bad thing for us! It breaks our concentration”. I said that it was almost impossible to shoot without it due to the low light. We finally came to an agreement and I turned the flash down by -3. Still it was a hard task to get a decent photo of the fast moving breakers.
Though I tried shooting with less flash, others did not. Maybe I should care about myself and do like he did.
My question is: How do you deal in situations like this?
Later on the evening I did this photo. It was on a scene and the lighting was far better.
