Here are some shots taken on the beach during the summer months.

Now, you don’t always want to carry 3 flash heads, a generator, 10 diffusers and an army of assitants, so here are some samples of photos taken with hot-shoe flashes and one reflector. When waiting for the right light and keeping light directions and hardness in mind, results can be achieved that are good enough for me.

On-camera flash set to -1 on ETTL metering, plus polarizer filter for a deeper blue in the sky.Direct fill flash.
