Marc + Buddy

More practice with off camera lighting today. Met up with my friend and colleague Marc for a few setup shots. Although his dog Buddy wound up hogging most of the lime light. Marc will be sending the shots over soon, but the real experiment was to set up my lights with my Nikon speedlights and have him use his Canon camera body to trigger the rig via Pocket Wizard radio transceivers. Yes, it worked and we're stoked! It's a total frankein-flash setup blending Nikon and Canon gear!

Marc and I will be teaming up to shoot a Pakistani wedding this Friday and Sunday, so now we know I can get all the lights set up, hand the pocket wizard to Marc and have him direct the couple for his shots. It'll be pretty epic. I'll post the shots Marc took of me once I get them.

Pretty basic two light setup using my new Lastolite Ezybox softbox. For wedding photography we need to move FAST because time alone with the couple for shots is always, ALWAYS , in short supply. So this setup (yes, I timed myself) only takes me about 4 minutes to get up and running. Two arrangements here. One for side lighting with Ezybox to camera left, and a hard SB-600 behind as a kicker. Second (the shot of Marc by himself) was more of a butterfly light setup, with main light up high shooting down, again with kicker behind.
