Just completed the book ”The Hot Shoe Diaries: Big Light from Small Flashes” by Joe McNally. I really recommend this book!  If you are in to photography and escpecially lightning it´s a must have for you! It´s full of amazing photos and a background story of each one and of course how he did the shoot, with all from preparing the location to shutterspeeds, apertures and how to make the model relaxed. If you are a Nikon user like myself you will recognize yourself in the book because he is really into Nikon´s hot shoe flashes SB-800 and SB-900. And I agree with him, they are totally awesome! So go get the book right ahead!

And some self portraits:

Shutterspeed: 1/60 Aperture: 6,3 ISO: 100
Just one Nikon SB-800 shot through an umbrella that is just a little bit higher than my head and it´s positioned around ten o clock if the camera is positioned at six and i´m in center of the clock. The flash i i-TTL and has an exposure value of +1.0 and a +1 CTO gel filter attached to get a warmer feeling (didn’t really matter when I converted them to black & white though).

Exactly the same configuration as above.
