Title: The Bimmer and the Strobist
Post by: doigal on April 06, 2008, 05:10:19 AM

Had a play with some strobes (small battery powered flashes) the other night, went down to the local shopping center carpark, found myself a nice deserted level and had a play for an hour or so. Reading strobist.com gets addictive! Should have played with more angles, and a couple of times I kept wishing I'd ordered a third light...

Very little PP went into these, the aim is to get it right in the camera!
