And when you are a photographer like me, you may take that as a photo op. I cannot even look at a can of soup without thinking “Hmmmmm….”. In terms of photos.

And that leads to this quick setup:

The remainder of lunch about to be photographed

That setup was a TTL setup, to save me time. (Connecting Pocketwizards and so on would take a few minutes. Hey, I was hungry – what can I say).

I have, here:

• Main light, on our left, a 430 EX II speedlight with a Honl Photo Speed Snoot
• Edge light, a second 430 EX speedlight with a Honl Photo Speed Snoot and a blue/green gel.
• The umbrella is merely being used as a reflector, to fill in the right a little.
• A striped place mat for the subject to sit on.
• A wall, far enough away to be dark, as background.

The camera is a 1D Mark IV with a 580EX II speedlight on it.

And that gives me…:

Lunch, lit with speedlights in wireless TTL mode

So now to bed quickly: I am teaching “Advanced Flash” with Guest Star David Honl (yes, that David Honl) today Saturday 11am-3:30pm in Toronto.
