Photographing this year at the Fort Worth Stockyards I encountered noon day sun combination with cowboy hats.
The hats are suppose to shade which means you don't see their faces unless you add some flash. I added the off camera flash to fill under those hats as done here to make the faces pop out.

Now to get an idea of how much light difference it is, just look at the cowboy in the background on the other horse. You cannot really see his face like the buy in front.
Here is an
earlier post going over the technique. Get the camera, flash and the subject to form a triangle. Here the flash is held to the far left off the camera and zoomed to 200mm to create a shaft of light to just light the cowboy's face.

This is a great way to just improve the photo of the cowboys, because now I see their faces.

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.
