I passed this scene in a local town during the day and decided to make a return trip that evening. I shot both these images the same evening and the bottom image was no problem but when I crossed the road to get the wider shot, I knew it was going to be a challenge. This Church is along a major highway with heavy traffic a good part of the day. Add to that there is a second road coming out on the right. So to offer a glimpse into my setup, first my tripod gets setup across the street with my camera and my Camranger wifi box attached to it and also the flash signal sender. I am across the street moving around the Church with my flash and my tablet which controls all my camera settings. I can set shutter speed, white balance, f-stop, bracketing etc. So I set everything on my tablet which sends a wifi signal telling my camera what I want things set at. Now I simply aim the flash where I want extra light, hit the fire button on my tablet which fires the shutter which in turn fires the flash trigger on my camera and my flash fires at the exact moment the camera fires. I lit the steeple, the tree, the front and side, all while trying to aim the flash properly, and also glance at my camera to make sure there is an opening so a car is not directly in front of the camera as it fires. It may sound complicated but it is not and it expands what you are able to do by being at your subject and not your camera.

Merry Christmas to all that follow or visit my site, I appreciate your interest!
