Day 7

Up early today to to shoot the sunrise over Coeur d'Alene lake.  Wasn't as spectacular as we had hoped so we pulled out our flashes and started experimenting in the woods.  The Nikon Creative Lighting System is way cool and provides lots of options.  Here we used two SB800 flashes off camera set in the woods with orange filters on them.  The power of the flashes can be dialed up and down from the camera to create different lighting ratios.  Stacey's shot of me by the lake became much more dramatic by simply dialing up the flash that was down low and about 45 degrees to the right of the camera.  Coffee pic was natural light.

Caught a nice sunset shot on the way to the Columbia River Gorge.  Shot it at two different white balances, cloudy and incandescent for different color effects
