Windy


























Date: 20-03-2009

Model: Cristina
Location: Abandoned restaurant
Equipment used: Nikon D80, Nikkor 50mm 1.8, Nikon sb-600.
Info: The day was very cloudy so the flash has been used combined to the natural light.
This time I used a Lastolite ezybox to soften the light from the flash and I think this changed a lot the things, I recommend it if you like portrait shots.
Thanks to the model who posed inspite of the low temperature.
