Don't have any image to post today , just me , Cut and sharpened then save for web , This was taken last December with a Gary Fong Lightsphere Front fired , Its a way that when you are in a situation that you can not mount any off camera flash gun on a church weddings and Baptismal , A lightsphere or a small diffuser can be a good alternative , its no sense to perk up your ISO and have a noise , It will be "ok" if you only have 3 to 10 shots then you can edit it and reduce the noise to "acceptable level" , but its a joke to have minimum of 500 shots on one occasion with all noise in it..Remember a wedding and baptismal is a one time occasion and can never be repeated..just a heads up Photography is all about Lights and Images, Better have a well lit images than be sorry..

Hoping for the best for all of us!

This is for you Lei , hope you like it!

P.S. I said acceptable level , People who get you to take pictures of their wedding or Baptismal wont understand that.All they want is a very nice , Clean and Clear images , Because if they do ? probably they just go with one of their family members to do it..
