The Artist. Caught him at Bakerstreet in Sugarland. Sadly, he does not do portraits for anybody - only does it as a hobby and to relax.

The cliche' water shot. Bare EX580II into a blue background at 1/16 power in order to freeze the action.

Quickie lighting. Shoot through camera right and very low power shoot through just off axis to soften shadows.

My view when playing Rice Village Bakerstreet

Cross lighting with sun. Underexposed the background (2 stops). Lit Jay with a single EX580II bare to compete with sun camera right (see nice shawdow on his shorts...yuck), Still, I thought the effect with the wide angle was kind of cool.

A couple of prom shots. Didn't have time to set up much in the way of lighting - the limo was due to arrive fairly quickly, so I put them in the shade, exposed for background, and lit them with a 24"x24" softbox camera left, with a gobo to reduce light coming through the trees. In hindsight, should have underexposed the background a couple of stops. Live/learn...
