Too Flashy

This past June, I blogged about focusing on using One Flash.  Well, my fellow KPA members wanted me to do a "demo/tutorial" of what I learned, so we (Brian, Rob and I) held a quick impromptu One Flash shoot after our monthly KPA meeting.

We had a very good turnout, shot until 9:30 PM. but we didn't have enough time to cover all the "ins and outs" of using a one flash set-up.  Personally, I was too busy working with the members that I didn't get to shoot, except for the image above.

About two weeks ago, a fellow photographer, Dan Spencer created a Group page on Facebook, called Kern County Models and Photographers, which is place for people to network.  It is a really good idea since I hate planning shoots when all I want to do is practice lighting.  Well last week, Rob, Brian and I (a.k.a Da BoyZ Klub) wanted to shoot some film and do more One Flash portraits.  So I posted a "call" for models and had five showed up.  We decided to shoot at a location called "The Bluffs", which overlooks the Kern River and Oil City, or Oildale.

All images were shot with my 85mm lens, SB-900 with 1/4 CTO Gel, 43" Brolly, and triggered with Pocket Wizards or Nikon CLS.  I didn't shoot any film, since we got started kinda late and during the early part of the shoot the park sprinklers went off.  It was fun, quick and we got some decent results.

 

 

Thanks to Dan for creating the Facebook Group, to the patient and wonderful models, Keisha, Lisa and Sam, and of course, my "Brothers from Different Mothers": Brian and Robert!!!
