Nikon D90, Nikon 35mm f1.8, SB600 flash shot thru cheap transparent umbrella = lots of fun!

Kevin - Portrait


Putting my umbrella to good use!

I could really get used to having so much control over the light...

Another from the same session


It's amazing what a big difference the cheap budget shoot through umbrella makes to portraits as opposed to direct flash. A definite step up in terms of quality! The diffuse light falls off much more gently, and gives a nicer, more natural look. One day I want to step up to more powerful studio lights, but until then my existing flash units look like they can handle these smaller jobs.

Small town blues!


Late night in Parys, South Africa. It doesn't exactly rock, but it's a nice little town.

In the details...


Everybody liked the previous photo so much that I decided to include another from the same shoot. :-)
