    To all those negative to this, isn´t photography up to one self, i dont like to bend to any certain laws of photography. Its up to one self how the pictures gonna be. I can understand if people criticise bad images, i don´t really see that here. So what if the pictures are taken indoor, we didnt see the final pictures.

    Sorry, if all this didn´t make any sense, i am danish and its 12:40 and night :D

    I don’t mean to sound negative but I would have to agree with Caamelaihan and johnxstone. The shots look unnatural and the compositions were odd. I think you may have had much more luck with an outdoor shoot using mainly natural light and keeping the set up simpler, if anything they look a bit old fashioned. Very intresting vid though – no personal offence intended it is just my opinion, and photography being an art form is all subjective of course. I’m sure people see them differently.

    Aperture was at f3.5. As far as metering goes… I got the right exposure first in manual mode by metering the window, and adjusting shutter speed. Then I added in the flashes. Flash being an instantaneous light source is not affected by shutter speed what-so-ever up to 1/250th of a second. After that it either goes away, or in the case of high-speed-sync, it just diminishes in power. Other than that, it’s just like any other studio setup.

    What was your apeture set on. I know that the light from the window would of made the camera meter read wrong. I see using the flash and black reflector made softer lighting in the room.
