Been playing around at home with some strobist techniques lately. The light is provided by off-camera speedlights – a 550ex and 420ex for the strawberry shots, and a 550ex, 540ez and PE-28s for the strawberry and melon shot. The PE-28s is an optic slave, the other speedlights were triggered with V2 radio frequency flash triggers. Enjoy.
looks like you had a lot of fun working on those images! i like them a lot. where the speedlights direct, or bounced?
The lights were a mixture of bounce and direct. I have a DIY reflector that hangs in the corner from the ceiling to the left. The camera left flash was bounced into that, the camera right was direct but at low power.
Great shots, I can’t wait until my wireless flash triggers arrive. You have inspired me.
[...] you’re a great photographer you can screw around at home some afternoon and take photographs that make the rest of us look like amateurs. That’s just what Craig [...]
Hi, you just left a comment on my blog so I thought I’d check out your site. These photographs are gorgeous.
Also, are you the guy behind Facebook’s Taiwan picture of the day?
Thanks for the comment Andy. No, I’m not the Taiwan photo of the day guy – a friend of mine is behind that. Click on the link in the sidebar and it’ll take you to his site.
Wow Craig! My jaw just hit the floor again.
