It was a great pleasure to work with such capable and great models. Hopefuly I did them some justice preserving their beautiness in pixels.
Most of the portrait work was done using speedlites in combination with a Lastolite Ezybox 60cm.

Ezybox Hotshoe in action

Last weekend I had some time to do work some more with the Ezybox Hotshoe. Here’s a sample of what can be achieved with it.
| Portrait taken with Ezybox |
| Natural light |
| setup: Ezybox Hotshoe ‘charged’ with a 580EX on a standard Manfrotto light stand |
This image illustrates few important points of using the Ezybox Hotshoe:
- Color Temperature – using a flash as main light provides us with a consistent color temperature of about 5500oK, the shadow where the girl is placed is actually much colder, which is visible on comparison image on the right. The portrait is much pleasing with the neutral-warm tones
- Light Control The light of the moment was quite harsh, coming slightly from the back and leaving most of the face in shadow. The Ezybox+580EX were used as main light. This was achieved in this case by decreasing the ambient exposure by 1 stop and using the flash without exposure compensation
- Portability Sorry to state the obvious but it’s really nice to have creative control over the light in the middle of the garden
The flash was used in automatic exposure mode (E-TTL) triggered by the controlled wireless ST-E2 on the camera.
