City Lights

Heres a quick lighting lesson that taught me something......Bring all your pocket wizzards! I took my Model Nic up to the roof of the Guthrie parking garage at sunset to get clean vista of the cities for a background. I took out 2 lights and only one set of wizzards forcing me to move the slave light super close or it wouldn't fire at all. I came up with a few ways to deal with this, but still had some movement in the shots. I decided instead to use the second light as an accent light as opposed to my original plan of using it to overpower the key for rear separation. The above image shows the test and one of the selects form the shoot. 
I should add that this was a test shoot and not the real deal so messing up is part of the learning curve to that perfect final image.
