Wow 2019 sure flew by, and I pressed the shutter button more than ever. So let me share a favourite picture or pictures as we head in to 2020.

Day #11

Chan-Dog at Beltcraft Studio

  • EOS R
  • EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM
  • 1/200s, f/4.5, ISO 400
  • Speedlite flash

I met up with the larger than life character that is “Chan-Dog” at a modelling event held at Beltcraft studios in London. We worked together for a short time and once again the combination of guys in that studio worked it’s magic.  given that parking can be a bit of a challenge near the studio, I’d got a medium sized Lastolite Ezybox Pro octa softbox with a pair of Speedlite 600EX-RT flashes as my main light. For some shots we supplemented with window light, and adjusted camera settings to get a good balance of daylight and flash for the results.

All the shots were taken using automatic E-TTL flash and the camera set to manual exposure.


Just quick note… I’m struggling to narrow down my selection of pictures to just a single one for each day 🙂
