This is a typical luncheon person speaking at podium shot, but what I like about it is how I decided to light it.  The light in the room was a mess, the podium was positioned on a wall between two large windows.

Basically, she was incredibly backlit.

After failed attempts of trying to bounce the flash off the ceiling, I tried putting the flash on a table parallel to her about 20 feet away and walked back across the room.  Using the remote function on the flash and camera I triggered the flash to get some light directly on her.

Kimberly Adams, executive director of Good Samaritan, speaks at the Women’s Legacy Luncheon at the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce after the Good Samaritan Health Center of Gwinnett Inc. was given the “High Impact” award Wednesday. Good Samaritan and Spectrum Autism Support Group were both awarded $10,000 by the United Way.
