Stephen in Action

A photo I took of my good friend and occassional 2nd shooter Stephen, here he is trying to capture an image at a wedding I hired him to assist me on...

Photo Nerds: Stephen is calling down flash power with a Pocket Wizard, there were a few White Lighting X1600 strobe units that were placed in the reception hall near the corners which had somewhat low ceilings aimed back up at the ceiling giving a decent light as we walked around the reception. Here he is shooting a Canon 40D /grip and a Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L lens (I'm shooting a 5D with a 24-70mm f/2.8L attached in this frame).

In this shot I too had a Pocket Wizard that I used to call down the flash, you can actually see the red LED on his camera lit up telling him that something is firing (and that would be me).

Also FWIW: this was my first wedding with one of the camera's being a 40D, it's a huge improvement in usablity and construction over the 30D and has tons better AF and a much improved view finder, at the price it's the best bang for the buck camera going. The one area I don't see a huge improvement is in image quality, it's better but not worlds better with the much older 5D still crushing it in the IQ department.
