Fun Family on the Pier

I shot this with my Canon 5DMk3 & Tamron 24-70mm f-2.8 VC. I only had one Manfrotto Lightstand with attached 580EXII Speedlite, and needed to light them all. It was VERY bright out that day!

What I did was light the scene in four stages, moving from the left few, to the next few, to the next few and the final few.... lighting in sections. I did about five photos per section, with four sections, so about twenty photos. I then chose my favorite of each section and tried to make sure I used ones that would line up and stitched them together in Photoshop. I got one image that is super fun and lit completely with a SINGLE Speedlite in bright outdoor light!
