365/37 – Who Dat, originally uploaded by ronWLS.

I don’t normally watch football. I mean I’ve watched maybe 2 super bowls in my life. But the whole New Orleans thing got me this year. I have some cajun blood on my mom’s side of the family. She grew up in New Orleans and she had 9 brothers and sisters. So you see there is a bit of family there.
So I watched the game today and the Saints won. Now this is as close as I have to a Saints shirts, this Morning Cafe shirt from New Orleans.
Lighting today was a little different than I usually do. Main light was the Canon 430EX II high camera right fired with the RadioPopper JrX @ 1/2 power but shot into the umbrella instead of my usual through the umbrella. My Vivitar was fired @ 1/16 and low camera left with the Sonia optical slave at the wall behind me using a Honl snoot.

365/16 – Evening Snoot, originally uploaded by ronWLS.

This afternoon I played a little with the 430EX II and a Honl snoot. One thing that I see from this is adding the concentrated light from the snoot made it appear that it was later in the evening then it really was. I tried to lower the power of the flash and then my trigger stopped working. Monday I should be getting the hotshoe and cable piece that will allow me to use my Radiopopper finally and they I shouldn’t have the not working problem any more.
