Big thanks to Anh for inviting me to shoot with him and Peter yesterday. It was a great experience, and I will now be offering this service.
It was an overcast day with light rain. Great day to be shooting, less the rain, as it was basically a huge softbox outside. But that wasn’t enough for me, and I got to use my own softbox that I just received a couple days earlier. I picked up the Lastolite 24″ EZYBOX from BH and couldn’t be happier. I used it with one 580EX II and triggered it with the CyberSync system.





I haven’t been shooting cars much lately, but I recently gave mine a bath and figured it was time I give it a proper shoot. I brought out the strobes with the intention of only using two to light my car up - “less is more.” Why use 3 when 2 will suffice? Anyway, it was a bit difficult to balance the lighting, and it’s still not quite there, but it’s an improvement.


I also haven’t done any rig shots with my new wheels, so here are a couple. Would have had more but the shoot was cut short due to rain.

Anyone want to buy a camera? Hahaha. No. Seriously, though.

My trusty iPod Mini!

Check the EXIF for the last two shots. The strobe settings are the same.

Trying to create fire with smoke.

Lit a few candles and blew them out to get the smoke.
