PBPhoto

Recently got a Christmas card from friends/clients.  It included the above photo.  In large lettering, "Happy Everything".  Man does that fit.  They are so fun and easy to work with. 

So we took these with combinations of natural light filtered through bed sheets to the left, bare strobes into the ceiling, bare strobes directly aimed at the subject, and my new favorite light modifier, the small softbox that I use with my battery strobes.

Here is an example of the natural light from the window to the left.  The sun was hitting it directly so we hung bed sheets to diffuse it.  I also bounced a strobe into the white ceiling to the right.


















Here's a fun one.










For more of an edge, here I blasted bare strobes from each side.


















Here's the love.


















And more of the love.
















And I'll finish with some of the expressions of the rock-n-roller above.

















































Be blessed.  More photo shoots to come . . .

This is a shot that, when I took it, I thought 'that's decent'. But when I brought it up on the big screen it really stood out to me. I don't know how he got so close to the flash as to make it almost on axis. Oh well. I still think the expression and the lost tooth make this a nice one.

It is dangerous being around a kiddy pool with camera gear. I have an EOS 40D and it has some weathersealing but I don't trust it to get too wet. The flash I'm not so worried about. Thankfully it is not an SB900 or something.
