Alyssa is a friend of my daughter. To get this shot I used my in camera meter and exposed for the sky. I then positioned two off-camera strobes. One was camera left, the other camera right. I positioned a futon at the crest of a small hill and shot uphill toward Alyssa. It took us about 30 kicks to get this and a couple of other shots that were keepers.
The things I would have done differently are to do a better job of in-camera white balance. This looks slightly gray to me. I can never seem to get that right. Probably also need to calibrate my monitor. I would have also moved to put a soccer field or goal as the back drop. Otherwise we all had a fun time with this and Alyssa was really happy with the images.
