last week we picked the COLDEST and WINDIEST day of the week to shoot these guys for the Wpg Fdn. The best view of the MTS centre puts you just right of the Winnipeg Sun box with one foot away from the rush hour bus traffic zooming behind you. No power there, so I strapped the small Photoflex softbox I have for my Metz 60CT-2. Fortnately the AD on the shoort is 6ft tall, get him to hold the contraption up and click click we're done. I undered the background a bit , by maybe 1.5 stops to darken it up.
