Hi,

Very good video. But i have a question about the photojacket that you wear.

The black one. Where can a buy it? I am looking for sometime for a photojacket.

Please let me know.

the shot at 4:48 could be made to be a lot better if you photoshopped (clone tool ) the shadow of the guy holding the flash on a pole out of the image, from just to the right of the upper neck / head of the guitar!

Good stuff though!

[nglstudios]

@jonnyweston I too could not stop staring at that shadow very distracting..

[jonnyweston]

@nglstudios its cause the contrast between the shadow and the bright sun on the stone is so much greater than the contrast anywhere else in the image, thats wht its the first thing that catches your eye I think IMHO.

[jordanofoz]

very useful outdoor videos, thanks.

I was thinking: what kind of poles do you use to hand-hold the ezyboxes with flashes on? I used a monopod but your's look a lot lighter and compact.

[wondnaereh]

What are you using to trigger your flashes? Is that a pocket wizard? also what are the soft boxes called? I want those they look awesome! I notice you got the shadow of the hair light guy in the background. Great shoot great video, you make me want shoot outdoors!!! Now if it would just stop raining. Your infor will be much appreciated. Thank again!

[matteoprez]

Hi Dongale, thanks for sharing this video, very good stuff indeed. I was wondering what diffuser are you using for your flashes?

Talking about flashes, nice choice the AF-58. I've got a couple of AF-48 and couldn't be happier. Thanks.

[Photographer35]

Thanks for sharing, that was some great work there and the final results really show that, well done!

[gitzotraveler]

Who cares about the lights and photographs - where'd you get that killer jacket? It mus hold all your photo gear & keep you warm in the winter desert. WOW!!

[neverleft69]

Don and Mike,

I have to tell you guys, the photo you took of me with Mt Whitney in the background is just the best. The lighting, exposure, framing, quickness you did this shoot in the shade, and how precisely you took this photo is just magical. Everyone says the photo looks surreal. You can only really see the real detail in the actual print. Youtube does not do justice for this photo. Right now, that large print hangs proudly in my living room.

Thanks so much....You Guys Rock,

Robbie

[dongale1352]

Hey Robbie,

We had a blast.....glad you like it.

We can do it again at another location on a future workshop.....don

[neverleft69]

I'm hip, and how is yours?

[dongale1352]

much better. i'm walking around, now. we've got a workshop in Yosemite in a couple weks.....so, i have to be recovered by then....don

[ThaKhinGyi]

SB 800s?

[dongale1352]

No, I'm using Metz 58's....they do the same thing as the 800's. I keep the flash power set on Manual, so the repeatability is consistent......the TTL stuff sometimes bounces all over the place.....don
