Wireless Flash Test (Outdoor)

This was pretty much the first time I got to try my wireless flash trigger outside. I just took a few shots to see how it would be like. I simply set the flash to 1/2 power nearly 3 meters (I think) away from the subject. This wasn't a serious photo shoot because we didn't have much time when we were there.

I didn't use anything to diffuse the flash so the light was much too harsh for my liking. I actually shot this earlier this month. The next time I go out on a shoot I will be able to test the DIY soft box I made :D

DIY Soft Box Light Test

So this was what went down the past week. Bernard and I made a lightweight and portable soft box that would fit a Canon 430 EX II. There were no specific instructions to making it, we just went along and designed it based on what we could use.

It was made of cardboard, aluminum foil and a large piece of paper as the front cover. It works awesome, and the light is evenly spread. I also purchased a wireless radio transmitter and receiver for Canon flashes. You can check out the details for it here.
