Family photo at "Cloud Gate" aka The Bean, originally uploaded by Carl's Photography.

Taken with a Nikon D80.

* Exposure: 0.005 sec (1/200) [+]
* Aperture: f/8 [+]
* Focal Length: 22 mm [+]
* ISO Speed: 400 [+]

Strobist info:

SB-800 at M 1/1 into 43" white satin shoot through umbrella camera left. SB-600 at M 1/1 into 43" white satin shoot through umbrella camera right. Triggered with on board flash with IR pass through filter in front.

I chose depth of field of f/8. Then, increasing my shutter speed to max synch of 1/200s and setting ISO to correspond I came up with the ambient exposure. I then positioned my umbrellas and after a couple of shots, settled on full blast 1/1 for lighting as it was still early in the morning.

We had woke up at 5:30 and managed to get here around 6:15. Final photo take around 7 am.
