Basic Concepts:
#1 Every flash photograph is two exposures in one. There is ambient light exposure and a flash exposure.
#2 Fill Flash can be used when subject is backlit or sidelit to eliminate silhouettes or shadows.
#3 Flash Exposure is not affected by shutter speed
#4 Flash illumination is dramatically affected by distance
#5 Your camera measures ambient light and flash illumination separately
#6 With automatic flash metering, the flash illumination is measured after the shutter button is pressed, and the flash output is adjusted accordingly
#7 Every SLR camera with a mechanical shutter box has a maximum flash sync shutter speed
#8 Harsh lighting, washed out subjects and red eye can be eliminated by using diffusers and light bouncing
#9 It is possible to change the order of when the flash fires using "Rear Curtain Sync."
#10 Removing the flash from the top of the camera helps eliminate red eye and unflattering shadows

1st Event:
Best Photo:The best photo you took, I think was the deer laying down. The color of this photo brings out the color of the deer contrasted with the light green hay behind it.
Least Favorite: My least favorite photo is the turtle picture only because it's a little blurry, but otherwise if it had been focused and solid then the lighting of this photo could have turned out great.
Overall Thoughts: I like all of your pictures, especially the peacock pictured. The lighting behind the peacock is really cool and sets a certain mood.
Overall fixes: The focus of your photos were mostly good, overall if you had experimented with angles the photos may have become a little more alive.
6 Station Shoot:
Best Photo: The best photo you took was the water droplet picture, because you caught the rippling effect of the water as the droplet bounced back up into the air.
Least Favorite: My least favorite the portrait picture with Granger and I because I look ridiculous and hideous… (just kidding) (sorta)
Overall Thoughts: I like all of your pictures, (aside from the portrait) because they are all really sharp and clean looking. I especially like your black acrylic because even though you didn't get all of the reflection, if you had, it could have turned out super cool.
Overall Fixes: Your pictures overall are very good, if there is anything you could fix… it would be to experiment with angles a little more or looking at things a little differently rather than just as something to shoot straight.
