Let Me Ride

"rollin' in my '4 with 16 switches" - Dr. Dre

 

If you've been following me on Twitter or on Brightkite today, you'll know that I was test driving a few cars today. I'm contemplating replacing my failing 12 year old car with something more modern but at the same time I just don't want car payments... you hear me? That's what led to the idea of today's photos, test driving.

 

The wind let down a bit so I was able to shoot a 430EX through an umbrella for main lighting. It was suppose to be a 580EX II but for some reason it just wasn't triggering. A bit of fill light was provided by a 550EX aimed towards the backside of the RR pole.

 

Yes I have chicken legs... I already know.
