About two weeks ago, I got the chance do something out of the norm of my shooting style. I am mostly the natural light and strobe light photographer. This time I get to shoot using constant light with SpiderLite TD5 fitted with octa softbox. I tried different placements, but the most pleasing one was when I put them in clamshell configuration. I took the first shot and the results were amazing. The only thing that I kept reminding me is to hold still while taking shot (I was shooting with Nikon 80-200 F2.8 on my Nikon D300s body) since a little motion in the shot was causing blur in the picture. I think I like what I got from these lights. Here are few headshots from the day.

This is the only shot with Nikon Sb800 in Apollo 28” softbox.

Back in January of this year, Ed has organized a meetup at the Temptation horse farm. It was pretty cold that day but we still managed to get some wonderful shots. It was then suggested to schedule another meetup at the farm as the weather permits. So, last Sunday we got together again and did some photography at the farm. Weather was a bit chilly in the morning but became very pleasant as the day progressed. People at the farm were so gracious to put up with us bunch of photographers having our cameras hanging around our necks and wandering in the farm all over the place. I really appreciate their patience. Here are a few from this past Sunday.
