Visited Ashbourne in Derbyshire last night to photograph a gamekeeper. It was just going dark, so I had a different kind of atmosphere which makes good use of the flash. I think the top picture is the best out of the three I’ve chosen, in posture, expression and there’s no harsh shadowing on the nose like in the second picture. Unfortunately, the water in the background is not visible (too dark), but I knew this was going to happen. I love the way the flash has picked out the trees. I will definitely carry on using this system for future photographs. It’s so versatile and portable.
