  9. WOW DJ, you are amazing! Incredibly beautiful shots!

    I also now know that I can shoot my Canon in the rain...although I don't think Canon would advise it :)

    Saw the "pocket wizard." Did you just have your flash off camera somewhere?

  12. Yea - the Canon stuff has held up great in the rain so I don't worry about it much...a great tip is to bring along a shower cap to put over your camera.

  41. Hi David-

    Inspiring to see you break the limits with backlighting, rain, spontaneity, all while not worrying about your camera? So cool to post immediately.
    Great Job!
    Love it....Daphne Hougard

    WOw, I am going to watch this a couple of more times. Definitely inspiring, and now I want to go out shooting at night haha.
    I have a question...I see you are using studio lights there at one point. Anyway of posting a diagram of how you had that setup? or email a description or something? I think everyone would find that so awesome and useful. I know I am dying to know.
    Thanks again for sharing the awesome shoot!
    P.S. how did the equipment hold up in the rain, any issues?
