The Homecoming Dance

The Homecoming dance at the school was my first foray into taking portraits. I was not at all ready for the challenge, and luckily the Canon 40D and flash unit made up for my inexperience. I used some lighting, but didn't prep enough and most of the children came out with shadows to the right. I also just used a wall as a backdrop, which was also a mistake. I also took some shots during the dance itself, the 480EX bouncing off the ceiling worked well, and the children and parents liked the photos. I am selling the photos on my smugmug web site, with all of the proceeds going to the school. So far, I haven't had many takers, I'm hoping to gain some momentum by sending out a flyer as a reminder this week.
