More Models and Umbrella Diffusion…
Last Wednesday I experimented for the 2nd time with my 45″ shoot-through umbrella. (ella. ella..)
I’m really loving the look of such diffused light sources. I wish I could use multiple, highly diffused lights on all my photo shoots now! Okay, well, what I wish is that I had more free time to experiment. I’m a very firm believer in evolving your personal style over time; and trying new things. But it’s also very easy to get excited and go leaping down a path that really isn’t “YOU” in the long run. So we’ll see how things progress. I’m definitely still enjoying the outdoors, and portraits in the outdoors to be more specific…
Thanks Dustyn for modeling in this shot!
You know the drill- D300, 17-55, pop-up flash used to command off-camera SB800. (diffused with umbrella held on my tripod cuz a light stand don’t work in places like this!)
Take care,

Crazy sick awesome… Oh, and I need your new “echo” — I love it!!
Nice shot! I’m glad you’re enjoying your umbrella. I really like mine and hope to be making a softbox and beauty dish to try out soon. Keep it up!
Gorgeous!!!
:):)
I want to see you in action
@William - Don’t know why I’d need a softbox or beauty dish, shoot-through is all I’m going to need for my style!

Sweet, Matt! I love playing with the diffused light from umbrellas and just got two new 45″ babies I’m dying to get out with. A gorgeous model and wonderful image you’ve captured here. -Mike
