fill assignment

For the fill portion of the assignment I went to peace park, where I had shot part of my direct flash assign because I remembered when I had tried to shoot there before that it cast a lot of shadows with all the trees. I found this guy, Shane, taking a smoke break on the bridge and struck up a conversation with him, mainly because he had a hat on. For my select, without flash, his face was completely dark. It was lunchtime and the sun was really bright. I tried direct flash on him to fill the shadows under his hat but didn’t like the way it looked on his skin. On the select, I used my hand to bounce flash into his face. I wanted to leave enough shadow to make it believable but lighten them up enough so you could see the detail in his face and the reflection of the leaf he was tearing up in his glasses.
