which surprisingly few people were taking up.

the girl on the right was flyering for a fancy dress club night based on the Mayan end of world prediction for later this year. Girl on the left was just passing and looked at me at the right time so the final image was down to a bit of luck. Though I suppose when you shoot close in a crowded environments people will look at you so your making your own luck.

Used my TTL Pocket Wizard and with SB400 which was in my left hand to fill the shadows and create separation. Underexposed the background via global -1 EC. You can see the position of the flash from the shadow of girls glasses.

Much better bigger on black

Brick Lane was very busy yesterday. There must have been 30ish photographers plus all the tourists with their DSLR's. Asked one group what was going on and apparently there were 3-4 photography meetup.com groups there. This guy stood out, obviously a pro with a D3 and by himself. I can never understand why people don't immediately change the branded neck strap. The ones that comes with cameras are usually rubbish and a walking advertisement for how good the camera is. Not very subtle.

Anyway he looked quite flamboyant and I like shooting other photographers at work, so I followed him for a bit and fired off a few frames when he stopped at this junction. The guy in the back ground was lucky accident I was concentrating on the D3 man.

Focus could be better and shutter speed wasn't fast enough.

One from the archives for the male portrait set. Strobist definitely, can't remember the set up.
