If You Have To Shoot Trees At Night…

600 Watt Seconds seems to be more than enough. A test shot from A shoot with Aubrey Dee at Sacandaga Lake. One of the final images can be found here_F9R9546.

Tiny But Mighty…

I dont even know how this capture happened. Elinchrom Ranger RX speed AS is my hero, and I would shoot with six of them and 12 heads if I could.

Is It Crap? Or Art?

Only your gallery knows for sure… All natural light through some terribly small windows makes for a very slow shutter speed, mix in me drinking too much coffee, and a random light leak, voila! Kodak 160nc, Hasselblad 501C.

BAD BLAD

Silhouettes are cool too, right?

Sometimes you are excited about the way the shoot is going, and you just fore before the flash recycles… Was it a great shot lost? The world may never know… Yound and Devine for Mainline Nation.
