Alien Bee

Just got an alien Bee Strobe.  How cool. I can make it fire with another flash, it has a sensor, tethered with a wire or using my Radio Poppers.  Here's a picture just using the raw light and a fill card.

OK a little harsh but a start. Hmmm, modifiers next.

Flash Bus Tour with David Hobby and Joe McNally

I just attended the Philadelphia workshop with these guys and well... WOW is the first thing that comes to mind. The show, and I do mean show, went from 10 am until 5:30 pm and and it seemed like ten minutes.  They were both really fun and interesting to listen to and boy do they know light. All of their explanations were step-by-step and really clear. If you have a chance to see them I highly recommend it.  Watch this space for some new flash photos.
