• Germans reported to be producing heavy guns with an unprecedented range of 25 miles (40 Km).
• Boston Braves win the World Series.
• And in local news, pod of "blackfish" [killer whales / orca] "spoil" sport fishing for most of the day in the Sannich Arm by scaring off all the salmon.


People-size Light Tent

Mon, 2014/10/13 - 5:14pm

Last Friday I shot at Beerlesque. The set-up I was given was inside a white tent. I have to say this ended up being a real pleasure to shoot in. Instead of shooting with an umbrella or a soft-box, I ended up using the tent itself to bounce the light around. Basically turned the thing into a people-size lightbox and loved it, and am really happy with the results.
