Hi there, hope you had nice early spring days with some time for photos in the warm sun :-)
I had a very busy week with travelling to Berlin at Tuesday, a visit at Joe McNally’s workshop in Hamburg (northern Germany) on Thursday (Joe was really humorous and made me laugh a lot) and a seven hours business assignment on saturday where I had to wake up at 5.45 AM. But the people there were great and we got some very nice pictures!
So there was rather no time for me sitting in the office and cut movies. But in my last post I promised a prompt follow-up with part two of the video about the shooting with the beautiful Anouk – and here it is!

In this part we were at a small farm. Different from the first part of the video we used just only Nikon Speedlites SB-800 and SB-900. To block the sun a Lastolite Skylite Panel 1x2m was used. This little things are a little expensive but very handy for transport (like a sports bag), built-up in minutes and worth the money. Once you bought the frame you can attach different fabrics or diffusors to it. I have two frames with a size of 1×1 and 1×2 meters and will buy one with 2×2 meters soon. I really like them ;-)
Tip: If you don’t want to spend money for some of them with the diffusor fabric, just use a bedsheet. It looks freeky but does the same ;-)
It maybe not that exciting but perhaps useful for some of you. For questions please use the comments form below the post or at the YouTube video site. Thank you!
