Wednesday afternoon at DLWS, Joe McNally uses the whole afternoon to teach small flash. Normally he starts in the classroom, going through a couple of flash scenarios and than takes the class outside for the finish. It’s one of the DLWS participants who is often the model for all of this. Being in HI, we decided to do it all outside and with a Hawaiian hula dancer. Anela is a sweet highschool junior who did just a great job. And if that opportunity for the DLWS gang wasn’t enough, they had Joe & myself in the pool with our 200f2VRs photographing her (it’s the 1st time in 33 events I had time to participate, darn special!). I did hear a chant go up for a moment, something about lighting them up, dropping the SB-900s in the water. I’m very happy to report that the only thing to go swimming was the model, joe and myself, no gear!

Joe does one helluva a job teaching flash, making it look so easy and the results so killer. Both of these photos were lit with flash but you’d never know it looking at the photos. I’ll leave it to Joe’s napkins to illustrate and explain his lighting strategy. I just love the opportunity to shoot next to Joe, he is so generous to share with me what has taken him decades to master. He is THE definition of a pro, thanks Joe! Other than his floating around with a inflatable green crocodile life preserver, Joe was all pro!
