Longest day - wet and grey what sun!

So today is the longest day, and it dawned early and has been mostly a fine rain and grey overcast skies. Even the brave souls who went to Stonehenge for the sunrise were disappointed with a grey sky, one of the people interviewed on the TV said that there had only been a glorious sunrise once in 35 years she'd been going. If this weather persists then i'll be shooting in the rain later.



I've been reading Scott Kelby's latest book 7-point system for photoshop which has examples to download, so i've been working through some of Scott's images. After a few of the example pictures I've had a quick experiment with some techniques on my pictures from a recent shoot with a few local photographers who are members of the Imagez camera club. With one or two of the other photographers the shoot went a bit off-camera flash tastic.



Thanks to our ever patient model. Every time I try this flash stuff outside I get a bit more inspired, only issue is that using E-TTL II infrared outside is the limiting factor, you end up putting flash where it operates rather than works.

Threat of a blog post changes the weather: well it seems to be getting lighter outside now.

Rambling over for now...
