yospyn.com – Bella and her sister Cassandra (makeup) came over to play this morning, this was the last idea we tried. It’s a ringflash on camera with an SB800 behind, ND filter to blur background, 1/250 f/9 @ 31mm. There’s another one like this but we decided to keep both her eyes in play. The waitstaff at Sette Osteria were very interested in what we were doing, as the background is the parking garage next to their outdoor patio.

Much thanks for Bella sweating out a cashmere scarf in 90 degree weather, although she claims not to have felt much heat. I, however, sweat CONSTANTLY during these sessions because the ringflash on a D2X and a 17-55DX is not exactly light. Not to mention carrying around a battery pack. Although the discovery of featherweight lithium batteries for the SB800 blew my mind.
