Yea I'm gonna try to get into the old Walter Reed medical center which has been around since the late 1800's . The architecture is AMAZING and it is all abandoned. Will post here later with the results.

Killian: I didn't know you were into that, I used to do some exploring myself. Good luck, as last I heard they have motion sensors and mics in the building.

The guy who runs this site is the man as far as finding places in the area that are photo gold mine. I like the old NRL dish:

Sometimes I like doing that. I went in there about 5 years ago and had no problems. I drove by there earlier tonight to check it out and it looks like they are renovating the interior to make them into condos. I'm gonna put on a decent polo shirt and walk in the office with a backpack full of expensive stuff and see if they will let me in.

No flash at all, actually... on any of the zoo shots.

I'm a pro photographer. I love taking pictures. Pictures of cars as well, though I haven't had too much time to do so since I've been busy with weddings this summer, plus my full time job. If you're interested, I can post my flickr acct page, there's a pic of my Protege on there. ;-)

I was actually suggesting it since you're shooting into the shadows.

Would the flash even reach? I guess it depends on what kind of flash.

 

[blueamcat]

I try not to use flash at all, especially if I'm outside. I've been using my digital for almost 2 yrs now and love experimenting with it.

 

[LaraS]

Yeah, I don't like using flashes either.

Would the flash even reach? I guess it depends on what kind of flash.

A Canon 430EX would have a range of 140' (on board flash has a range of about 45'), so a shot at 300mm like the one posted would have the photographer back about 30-40', not a problem for a hotshoe flash and still feasible with an onboard flash.

Most that don't like using flash probably don't understand how to control their light output and settings to take advantage of artificial lighting. Being able to harness artificial lighting opens up a different aspect of photography, especially outdoors during the day. Use artificial lighting to expose the subject while darkening the background, reducing blown out highlights that you'd normally get when you use natural lighting to expose the subject.
