Volunteered to shoot some hand-made jewelry for a catalog and as promotional material for a friend. Never have done “product photography” so this is a first. Made a DIY light-box with a cardboard carton, with 3 cutouts [one each on either side and one on top] with translucent white paper taped over the cutouts. Inner [...]

The series of photos was shot with 2 wireless Sb800s installed in the upper gallery on the lighting rails of the theatre. For some shots only one SB800 was firing – kept wondering what the problem was but I could not go back up to check. When play practice was done, and I went to retrieve the [...]

Nikon’s CLS [Creative Lighting System] gives the freedom to shoot with remote speedlights, and the ability to control the master [on-camera] and remote [off-camera] flash units from a simple and quick menu system. High speed-sync high-speed flash-fill shooting in bright daylight is so easy with this system and the camera/flash units will sync perfectly all the [...]

I was experimenting with two off-camera flash units placed low on the floor skimming the light of one off the ceramic tiles and one placed behind a white window curtain to diffuse it…. the “beep” from the remotely triggered flash units brought Mannat curiously checking what was going on. I turned and caught a quick [...]
