Testing my new softbox

Before I hop in the tech stuff I promised in my last posts, I want to share some pictures that I took last weekend testing my new softbox – it’s 28′ by 28′ and I love it. Super smooth, yet directed light thanks to a recessed front.
Unfortunately, due to the spontaneity of the test shoot, I had forgotten to take spare batteries, so I only flashed a couple of frames. I switched to available light (wow, that stuff still works!) and took some more quick portraits. I still only have my trusty 50 on my camera, so like in my last shooting I tried to find alternative perspectives and move around more while shooting. “Do the reshoot now”, as Joe McNally always says.
