Here is another lighting assignment for the students. They were to go outside and use the sun as a back light and then use a strobe as main light. Here is the assignment and diagram that I sent to them.
Description: Mixed lighting
Items:
Monobloc
You may choose to use your hotshoe flash if you choose, but it must a be off the camera. Short cord will not work for this. You need a really long cord to fire the flash or you need to use the radio remotes. Use extension cords for power or use the battery powered strobes.
Camera
You may use any lens you choose for this assignment. Fish-eye, wide angle, portrait, telephoto, lens baby or shift. Make this a strong environmental portrait as you can.
Sun
This is done outside with the sun still lighting the sky. Can be dusk, dawn or mid day sun. Be sure the subject is back lighted by the sun and not on their face.
Subject
We need good expressions in this photo. Maybe have the subject posing with something. Sitting on a motorcycle or holding a surf board are some examples of what students have done in the past.
Here are the students results:

All comments are reviewed.This is done primarily to eliminate spamming. Please be patient, I maybe on assignment and unable to review right away.
But to increase meaningful conversation, sometimes it’s necessary to reduce the not-so-meaningful bits. Here are the kinds of things we’ve been deleting in recent posts. Please avoid these types of comments:
One-word comments like “Cool!” or “Thanks!” While we appreciate the congrats, we’d love to hear more about what exactly you love, and (even more importantly) why.
Shameless self-promotion. Comments that contain links to your site within the body or otherwise encourage folks to visit your blog are a no-no. If you’d like to increase traffic to your blog, there are other places than here to do that.
Multiple comments by one author. We’re glad you want to be engaged, but please give others a chance to speak, too.
Really long comments. Let’s just say that if you need to take more than three breaths to read your comment, it’s probably too long.
