Speedlite sun
It was a pretty drab grey day, so I thought an ideal time to play with some speedlites. Unfortunately 2 mins of being in the garden I had only just got set up and started balancing lights and Andrew fell into the pond and I had to stop shooting.
Speedlight at rear in shot providing 'sun' + speedlite shooting through umbrella camera left providing fill.

Nice work Richard. Good thinking to enhance the weak sun with a flash.
