Shot using Lumodi 14″ Beauty Dish. This is the first time I used a beauty dish. The amount of control one has over the light is amazing.

Our Whippet, feeling sleepy (as always). I was trying out a new setup – 2 SB-900 shooting through Westcott brollies. I like the quality of light. Much better than direct flash.

So, for this picture I placed a sheet of black cloth on the table and used four clamps to stretch it tight. I then placed the plexi glass on top of this to provide the reflective surface. Over the table I angled a white board to provide a white surface that the camera would see in the reflection of the plexi glass. I used three lights. One SB-28 on full power and 24mm zoom was angled up and fired bare at the white board. This provided the nice graduated reflection on the glass. The front of the mug was lit with a second SB-28 on half power, 24mm zoom and fired through a softbox. A third SB-28 on 1/2 power and 85mm zoom was fired through a grid to provide a rim light on the back of the mug. All the flashes were fired by PW.

Heres the night powder shot of Vans rider Will Hughes, that is on the cover of this months Document Snowboard Magazine…. Their 50th special edition no less. I don’t have the PDF of the page from the mags art director yet but will post it as soon as I do.It was shot in Morzine/Avoriaz, France, over New Years but Ive had to hold back until it was in print.

Check out the mag at Borders, WH Smith, etc, I have a some more images throughout as well.

Shot with two strobes. One camera right, bare, the other centre frame, gelled red. Shot 10 frames and this one was the best. – Heres one of the test shots, I posted a month or so ago… www.flickr.com/photos/danmedhurst/2181249154/
