Trying out my new franken-brella thingy

Posted By on May 2, 2010

I watched a really good instructional video this weekend on portable lighting techniques which prompted me to Frankenstein-up a small portable strobe umbrella that I can take outside and use wirelessly with my camera. Here are some of my test shots inside:

Looking good so far! Next we went outside to backlight Sam with that magic sunset light:

Here she is trying to eat some azaleas that Pam picked for her to explore:

Pretty good results for some quick and dirty experimentation! With a little more work, this should be a great set up for quick lighting outside when I am too lazy to run extension cords outside for my big studio lights.
