I promise (fingers crossed behind my back) that this is the last post from my night mission with Brian. Work and an expanding social life is creeping into my photography time. I hope to make it up by taking lots of photos of my family over Thanksgiving. These shots of Brian were taken in Emeryville overlooking Oakland. The artificial light is pretty harsh. I tried to set up the umbrella, but it was so windy that I could barely hold onto it. If I had attached the umbrella to the stand, I would have lost my entire lighting kit to the dark cold waters of the bay! I'm happy that after a lot of practice, I was able to set up and take down my flash-on-a-stand very quickly. We were both cold and Denny's was beckoning.
