EXIF stands for Exchange Image File Format. For most photographers, it means the exposure information of each picture.

I recently bought a new 36×36″ softbox with a speed light adapter, and decided to test it out with my “model”. I setup the softbox about 45 degrees above and to the side of my model, using just 1 speed light triggered by popup flash, for this test. If it was an actual shoot, I […]
This was shot at a salon. We had permission from the owner, who’s also a hair stylist, to take over his salon after hours to do a shoot. This was done with 1 strobe light in a soft box above the model, triggered by a pair of Pocketwizard plus II.
El Mirage dry lake bed is a popular place for movie filming, land speed testing, and many other outdoor activities. You will need a permit for commercial filming and photography. I took this picture using my 10-24mm lens and a polarizer filter, and a bit of fill in flash.
