Sargent Hochbauer - D700, 70-200

I’ve been wanting to work on my portrait skills more lately and I got an opportunity to go to a local Cowboy Action Shooting group’s shoot this Saturday. Well the light was not the greatest, a good time to refine some lighting techniques to say the least…I tried to keep it real simple, two off camera flashes, one through a Lastolite Ezbox and the other through a translucent umbrella. I used the Ezbox as the main light and the umbrella as a fill. Positioned my subjects in some shade, or as much shade as I could find, underexposed the background by 2 stops and lit my subjects to taste.

Here’s a few more from the day’s shoot…more to come as I decide on how to process each one…
