Played with a new Macro Flash system today

Change photographed using the Nikon R1 macro flash kit

The secret to great light is all about the relationship of the size of the light source to the subject. When your subject is as small as pocket change, a relatively small flash can do a beautiful job of lighting it very nicely.

Here is a picture of the kit used to light the shot above.

Nikon R1

The nice thing about this rig is that it makes it very convieient to move about and shoot active macro subjects like butterflies or insects. I’m looking forward to trying it out in the Butterfly house at the Detroit Zoo.

Family Photos
My family and I would like to thank you very much for the beautiful photos of the family. The large family picture looks wonderful in our family room. The others we will put up in due time. It was a great experience and you and Bob were extremely professional.

Thanks again!

Headshots
I called Bob on very short notice for some pictures. I did not have any hard & fast rules so Bob’s direction and guidance was really appreciated. I felt really comfortable with Bob’s process; he & Julie helped to create a fun & casual atmosphere.
My pictures turned out just beautiful! Thank you, Bob. I’d recommend you to anyone.

Creative Workshops
Bob does a excellent job of putting together creative meetup workshops from technical setups of your camera, composition, lighting, editing images, travel arrangements and accommodations. If you haven’t experienced a workshop with Bob, your missing the chance to expand your knowledge and creativity of your photography skills along with a fun time and interesting challenges and places to photograph.
