I haven’t shot a portrait in awhile and I’ve been wanting to shoot Sylvia for some time now. We scouted a location right across Pier 29, that way we can eat breakfast right after the shoot. It also gave me a chance to test my Westcott XL 36″ Rapidbox & Flashpoint Streaklight 360. I ended up wasting about half an hour fumbling with my exposure, when I hit my frustration threshold I decided to ditch it and go back to my tried and true Canon 600EX-RT. That’s when I discovered I forgot to remove the metal bulb protector (Doh). In the process I forgot to reinstall the outside diffusion panel on the softbox that gave me a band of hot light on the bottom of every frame which I didn’t notice til I got home. So most of the 1st location shots got thrown out.
