About a month ago, Tony Hawk and his team from Birdhouse rolled into Columbia. I thought I was shooting direct flash. I was quickly corrected about this misconception during our next photo lecture about fill light. The light kept changing from very sunny to overcast within a matter of minutes. Now that I understand what I was actually shooting, I understand the concept of fill light much better.
Tony Hawk signs a Columbia fan's skateboard on October 17, 2009. Hawk's skateboard company, Birdhouse is doing a tour across the nation. They have been promoting the tour by using the social networking website, Twitter.
I think the colors show that the photo is a bit blown out. However, all of the shadows that would have appeared from the baseball cap and the skateboard have been corrected with the fill flash.
