BTS: Macau High Fashion Photography Part 2
We arrive early and checking the sun light We setup lighting with "hypersync / fake hss / highsync / supersync" and full CTO gel to shit the boring sky to blue In plan A I will shoot with one light + Umbrella deep m silver to render the photograph with contrast direction light, and the setting sun will work as the rim light to make the grass flower pop. (high fashion is no rules right ;) ) Designer arrive and set up take a bit longer then the plan, when they are done... the sun is set. (tracing the sun is a risk promise) It's lucky I have Plan B in my pocket :D, Since the sun will gone soon... we take the shoot that use macau tower as background asap. Then break down the lighting, and move them to another direct, this time we add the softcover to the umbrella deep silver to make it as a softbox, and take out our spare ring flash as on axis fill. Pre scouting is very important, this all process / issue is already in my brain and can be switch asap ;) NOTE: Always do "Pre Production", "have plan b", "Ask client fund to hire more than they believe, they know nothing about photography", "find client with budget to spend".

A good photograph is not about how many profoto you use, and also not about how many hours you photoshop that image. A good photograph is to tell story, see the makeup stylist (left)... her face show pride with satisfaction... also her hand who make such fantastic work. the model (right) her face is so happy with the result...

Satel One Testing Is Done, Can Use In Real Production At Next Photographic Assignment
Satel One is a self contained battery flash like HD600 or roverlight it state that is 600ws but actually it is 400ws as out test (1/2 stop less than other 600ws flash). Just 2.2kg included battery and with a handle on top... I love handle! The Good: Flash output is very stable not much +/- 1/10 happen as other similar flash I used. The Strange: It's digital power control seems fault but still workable (it is 6 Step with 0.1 increment) as below. 1.0-2.0 = 1 Stop 2.0-3.0 = 1 Stop 3.0-4.0 = 1/2 stop 4.0-5.0 = 1/2 stop 5.0-6.0 = 1/2 stop

How Many Photographer Actually Know Photography?
Today one of my student finally follow my advice... he take his 600ws battery pack to do some real outdoor flash model photography. As his result, he comment... he feel he can't well control the fake HSS flash with ambient light... he agree this due to not enough exercise... and one serious misunderstanding in his brain is today's fake HSS shots without banding line in the frame is due to he using a wide angle lens(that is actually not related). That's ok and acceptable if he is a just a hobbyist, but he is a senior photography tutor... who teaching in 3 photography school to certificate senior photographers at China... and he making good money then me ;)

Working with umbrella deep m, umbrella shaft will block the LCD's Flip movements S-1 is just a little manual flash, it don't dance and sing... (no TTL / HSS / remote power adjust / on/off modeling light etc.) I buy it because now-a-day clients want cheap photography / simple shots, and I feel travel with pack and head flash system is no worth for them. So... The LCD panel in S-1 is bright and high contrast. it is easy to read in a regular headshot setup distance, That tilt panel let you setup the light in some angle that you normally don't want to with normal monoblocks.

Asked: Why Watermark Your Photographs In The Middle?
Online promotion photograph of a pizza shop at Beijing & Online promotion of another pizza shop in Zhuhai. Now most effect advertisement is done using mobile apps, so a small size photo is good enough to help the thief get the job done, to minimize the damage we just can put the watermark in the middle.

Doing Homework Mean You Are Professional Photographer
I know many people say, photography is a experiment act... but as a professional photographer... we cannot use our client as lab mice right? I just finish another fake HSS / hypersync / supersync test with the acon new firmware, and created a new cheating sheet as one of my trick in the bag. Ba ba ba... I know you don't know what I am talking about. I just try to tell you that don't hire any photographers who don't know their equipment well / what he is doing / they never doing homework. You don't think such photographer is around? Ha Ha... Let me tell you one story. Whenever I don't have acon hypersync solution, my fellow photographer / assistant always tell me how good his Nikon D800 + odin as hypersync tool, and he always joking that I should rental his system to do the job... BUT... when I asking more deep... let say band line, power lose of each speed and other issues, he actually have no idea at all. WTF if I trusted him and rent his system for a real client photography session? You guess!!

Small magnetic pin will do the trick, if you can remove the modeling light or using a LED modeling light head. Near all poles inside the softbox is make by steel, so just use the magnetic pin to hold a color gel is always possible.

Small Lighting Great Results Is Just Rumor
"Small Lighting Great Results" is just someone's marketing (included the fired photojournalist) . Today test drive the Profoto B2... and my conclusion is... If I must invest in new light now, I will go for the Hensel Porty L 1200 for same money. I like to shoot with big crew and light, and create photograph will good contrast (most strobist photo is just ugly flashed pictures).

The Reborn Of Trashed 40cm Beauty Dish
Wrong designed beauty dish... normally sit in the conner of the studio for years. And normally we feel wrong because it just produce a dark spot in the middle of the beam, this is because they may have too small deflector and maybe the deflector installed in a wrong distance. Today I have find another Luna Folding Beauty Dish have that gum broke problems, I take it's deflector and install it in the dump 40cm dish with very short 1.5 inches crew (to shorten the distance). Wala ... It now worked like it supposed to be with a right focused spot.
