I’m always amazed at what you can achieve with simple lighting setups. In this example I’ve used a single light source and a reflector to achieve what you see in the image. Give it a try and see what you think. Read More

In this part of the session we moved outdoors to take advantage of the setting sun.  I’m not a huge fan of sun flare photos but I think this one turned out nice. I haven’t shot many of these but you might be interested in how it was shot?

There are times when you need a little extra reach and a 200mm lens can do the trick.  I’ve owned the Canon 70-200L IS  F/2.8 MK1 and it was a great lens.  This lens,  at 200mm is sharper than my 70-200L was.  If you are in the market for a nice telephoto lens and you want something very close in performance to the Canon 135L but with more reach, then you should continue reading this review.

Sometimes when you purchase new gear you run it through a series of  tests.  At the time I had purchased the Lastolite Tri-lite reflector set and I wanted to give it a try.  Monica was nice enough to model for us this afternoon. Have a look at the lighting setup for the image.
