    It looks, by the shadow under the left rope, that you used a flash. If so, which? Because the fill and color are excellent!clap.gif

    Hello SuperJared.
    I use Canon equipment. The camera is a 20D, the lens a 16~35 f:2.8 LUSM and the flash is the 430 EX with a white "condom" :D.
    As you may know the crop for the 20D is 1.6. I am sorry I could not have a lens with wider angle to get a better crop... ne_nau.gif
    The flash was directed somewere. No direct flash. Bounced. I shot 2 or 3 and choose this one.
    I am trying to learn to use the flash following the gidelines I have been reading in:
    http://photonotes.org/articles/eos-flash/ and mainly here:
    http://www.planetneil.com/faq/flash-techniques.html because it is more simple but most useful.
    I quote:
    "    A few things we need to get out of the way first : - These pages were originally written to help other photographers who struggle with on-camera flash. But it was also written as a reaction against the snobbery of the purists who insist on using available light only - even when it looks terrible.
    - the photos on the next few pages are all from weddings.
    However, don't feel that this only relates to weddings. The techniques here are just as applicable for most fields of photography. It just happens that most of my photography work are weddings, and it was easier for me to find examples from my work.
    - I own and use both Nikon and Canon systems. I have used, or am currently still using the
    Nikon D2x, D2H, D100, Canon 1Dmk2, 1Dmk2N, and Fuji S2. So the techniques here are, for the most part, system non-specific.
    - the photos here were all taken with digital cameras. They are immensely helpful tools in learning about the craft of photography. However, the techniques here are just as valid for film cameras.
    Also, the images here had very little to no Photoshop work done to them. But I did correct the white balance, and fine-tune exposure and contrast for these photos, as part of my general raw workflow.
    - I always use my camera in manual exposure mode for very specific reasons.
    With flash however, I alternate between TTL flash (if either myself or the subject isn't static),
    or manual flash, (if the subject is static in relation to the strobe.) More on this here.
    - And finally, when I talk about 'on-camera flash', I am not talking about the pop-up flash, but a proper dedicated hot-shoe mounted flash."

    Hey Antonio, good lighting ... you filled in nicely. What's with the pine tree in the dining room?

    I am impressed, you do seem to get around quite a bit.

    Nice shot Antonio. I think the image is a bit dark. Lightening it would make it pop better. I agree it is really nice.
