In this case it was a Lumedyne fired with a Pocket Wizard. Both exterior shots were done this way and the ambient was underexposed about 2/3 in the barn photo and maybe 1/3 in the photo with the hoe. The use of the flash just helps save a bad situation by adding a tiny little element of visual interest and it helps highlight the primary subject.

Can you tell us a little more about the lighting on the exterior shots? Thanks again for taking the time to share your insight and techniques with us. Hi Gary,

That month, many local high schools had participated in an earthquake preparedness drill. One school decided not to and a parent wrote in to our editor, saying that as a result of the school's decision, her daughters "didn't know what to do". So the photo request was to get a picture of the daughters... uh... not knowing what to do in an earthquake. We ended up not shooting it, since it turned out the mother really just wanted her kids in the paper and was complaining about the school. But perhaps next time I'll volunteer to take the impossible one and see what I can make of it. You did a nice job with this one.
