New York or Bust!

"I be spiked out, I can trip a referee. Tell by my attitude that I am most definitely from..." - Empire State of Mind : Jay-Z feat Alicia Keys

 

Did some location scouting today for a client's holiday family portrait and found this frame just out in the middle of nowhere and thought... "now this works!"

 

I also took this opportunity to see just how well Canon's built in infrared triggering would work out in the desert sun. Took a quick shot of the sky and based on the max sync speed of the camera had to stop down the lens to ƒ/16 (I didn't bother doing HSS today). I'm happy to say that given the conditions, Canon's triggering performed very well and not a single error. Pretty neat!
