so for this one i wanted to set up a longer exposure to burn in the x-mas lights, and i wanted a lot of color contrast, so i set up a flash with three blue gels and an sb-3 softbox. i plugged the lights in on the table and shot a lot of test shots trying to figure out the right white balance / shutter speed to get a good tension between the yellow lights and my blue flash. it took a while, but i finally got something i liked, so i wrapped the lights around my head, took a couple of shots, and here's this one.
i think when it came down to it, the flash was @ 1/4 power, my iso was 100, white balance was set on some weird setting i'd never used before, shutter speed was 1/5th of a second.
