Amy in Bellefonte

My friend, Amy, and I traveled to Bellefonte last week to shoot some photos. We had a good time although the weather wasn’t great. It was overcast and rainy most of the time and we eventually had to leave because the rain started picking up. Although I love shooting in blue or partially cloudy skies, the overcast sky helped me fight the sun with my little flash. If the sun had been out in full force, it would have been much more challenging to get enough power out of the small flash to combat the power of the sun.

Here are a few from the shoot. I shot most of these images with my 5D Mark II lit with a 580ex II through a Lastolite Ezybox softbox. I’d like to get monobloc with a bigger softbox so I can have it further away from the subject. Overall, pretty successful shoot, though.
