December Goals
It's always good to set goals, right?
December---Creative use of off camera flash!
Part of the reasons I'm doing a 365 project is to challenge myself. After a while, taking the same pictures of your kids every day gets kind of boring. I figured since it's only light for approximately 8 hours out of the day right now; what better time to play with my flash! I've been using flash for a bit now, but mostly on camera (especially for personal work). This month, I'll be trying to get it off camera a few times a week and see what kind of creative uses I can come up with!
Most of the shots here taken with my (new) Nikon Z6 with my 24-70 or 70-200 lenses.
