A capture from a recent shoot in Oakland.  Laurie & Ziggy were heroic, running up and down the steepest part of the street for 45 minutes…  Also, a streamlined 1-head White Lighting kit saved the day (the “big pack” is in the shop with a fried sync plug).  The single light and relatively dinky umbrella make for pretty unsophisticated lighting, but work well to give this image a heavy dose of dramatic contrast.  Also, using a low-powered monolight made for an easy balance with the sky exposure.  This was my first strobe-lit shot I can remember shot at higher than ISO 200…
