I saw this amazing field of yellow flowers in the middle of winter in Yountville, California a couple years ago. I could have kept driving, but thankfully I pulled over. This is something I rarely see, so I am glad I spent the extra time to snap some photos.
I like to travel as light as possible when it comes to photography gear, especially if I am on vacation. That means no umbrella + light stand, no reflector, etc.
So what do I do when I need some softer light? I look around!
Our Nissan Cube has a relative large windshield, so I hooked up the old SB-24 to a PocketWizard and shot away.
Would an umbrella have produced a softer and richer light? Sure. Would it and its light stand have toppled in the fierce San Francisco winds? You bet.
Happy shooting!
