After viewing my American flag against the sunset I knew I wanted to take a picture of it in that setting. I finally did so today, not only for the pleasure of doing so but to gain experiance in multi-flash photography (albeit with my Kodak pocket camera, I just purchased a high-end Panasonic “bridge” camera, and plan on re-taking this picture with it as a test if nothing else). And here is the result:
This picture was taken kneeling before the flag, looking upwards at it with my Sunpak flash set about six feet to the side at 1/16 power at about a 45-degree angle to the right of the camera. I am very impressed with the way I was able to both highlight the flag while at the same time giving it depth against the sunset-lit clouds.
