We had to move somewhere else to find shade. But these little tips will be awesome next time around.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14765923242321731736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-11581600123538325092009-06-03T19:54:43.379-04:002009-06-03T19:54:43.379-04:00I have become firmly convinced that "David Zi...I have become firmly convinced that "David Ziser" is actually a team of seven people -- how else does he get all this done!<br /><br />As usual, great advice.

If that's the case, is your assistant holding the strobe a lot closer to the subjects than you are? Your diagram has the light right next to you, but I'm just curious as to the power of the light being able to reach the subjects from that far away.<br /><br />Thanks!<br />JoshJoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03678518780037826683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-28350938157312556962009-06-03T16:47:01.713-04:002009-06-03T16:47:01.713-04:00Great post, David.
