If Only... (Portrait Class, Week 7)

There comes a time in every photographer's life when something you overlooked comes back to bite you. My time came this evening.



Yes, I forgot to put a sandbag on a light stand, with a profoto head on it.
Yes, this is all that's left of the flash tube.
No, I didn't cry.

When life throws you a whack ball, sometimes you have to throw one right back at it.



Needless to say, my friend Hieu is a character.
Right after we got the jumping shot, the wind picked up... You can guess the rest.
But I got the shot, and no one died.

Another successful shoot, sort of anyway.
