I've been experimenting with my wireless speedlights and gels. I had a good time with my son making some fun images. The sun was still fairly high (1/4000 shutter). This is a fun technique to play with if you have a speedlight, especially if you have wireless capabilities and gels are cheap.

I wrote a blog post about the technique here:

1/4000 s @ f/6.3, ISO 200, -1.33 eV, WB 3030k, 14 mm, Wireless TTL +3.0

I know nothing about techniques, but I love that smile!

That's my boy! We have been so blessed by this child, he has a very sweet and tender heart. That smile he gave speaks a thousand blessings to me, thank you Jesus!

Oh Love that smile!   Love the sky too!

 Interesting technique. Is the gel causing the orb lights I'm seeing or is that coming from the lens/flash? Good looking young man BTW.

Thanks. Those are actually bubbles from a toy bubble machine we had running nearby, lit by the flash. The gel corrected the skin color to warm to offset the cooler blue that I had the white balance set to.

 My eyes certainly aren't what they once were. I can see they are bubbles now.
