My lighting setup:
- Nikon Creative Lighting System
- 1 x SB-800 mounted on-camera act as wireless commander and as fill light
- 1 x SB-600 with umbrella mounted
- 1 x SB-600 with no diffusion
- 2 x light stands to mount the flashes
What you did was firing your flash directly at the face of your subject. It is like shining your torchlight onto a piece of design paper at right angles. What you see is only the design pattern but not the dimensional texture of the design. Move your lights to the side and experiment.
This you call impromptu ?
I need a bigger bag liao....

In this thread, CLS = Creative Lighting System.
This system is developed by Nikon in deploying multiple flashes in your photography via wireless communication between flash units. With this technology, it takes photo light creativity to the unventured levels, depending on the creativity of the photographer.

I think so too. I'll probably think of something to shoot Ploy seriously as her entry port folio...

That's what I tot... "Oh... I just have 3 flashes, 2 light stands and umbrellas in my car.... it's simple."
Pro shooters got different meaning to simple...
Love the works... looking forward to the rest of the series.

It depends on how much effort you put in to try communicate with people. The fastest way is to keep talking with the Thais and understand their way of life and how they see things. Be like a Thai. Act like a Thai. Do like a Thai. And you will find yourself communicating with them as if you are one of them. That's where the chemistry come.
I spent 3 years trying to be one and I am still trying to be.
