Here are my latest photos from Thursday. Jenny and I went down the road from the studio to these great old trucks up on a bit of a ledge. Sweet setup because it lets you get real low without having to crawl around. I took these about 11:30 and it was already close to 90. Used a large softbox on my right. I posted alot of them cause I really like they way the came out. I guess thats it. I’m hoping to get a few more photo victims next week.

Took the new beauty dish I made outside for a trial run. I shot these out in the parking lot at work. It was crazy hot today so I didn’t get to play around with it as much as I wanted to but here are a few photos.

I’ve been looking at getting a beauty dish for some time but really didn’t want to drop the $200.00 on one. I looked around on a few blogs like Strobist and Flickr and came up with a way to make a super cheap home made dish. One thing I didn’t want, was for it to look ragged and slapped together. The bowl was smaller then I wanted. I went to Walmart and spent $8.00. this is what I made.

Here is the result. Used best looking model I could find. Beauty dish is high camera left pointed down at a 45 angle. Wish I would have smiled for these.
