Afternoon At The Preston Castle

We had another wonderful outing at the Preston Castle last Sunday. This session was from 12 noon to 4 in the afternoon. During other sessions I found that the light streams through the windows, and is constantly changing. With midday light most of the windows act like large soft boxes. With the age and deterioration of the windows it makes for some beautiful light.

Window light: I used the Nikon D4 with a Sigma 35mm — Window light: I used the Nikon D4 with a Sigma 35mm

For this session there were a few goals I set for myself. One was to work with existing light from the windows in different locations. Another was to use a strobe light in different areas in a way that I haven’t done before. And then the last goal was to use a strobe outside to balance the sun with high-speed sync.

I was very pleased with how the images came out. The light that I chose to use was is the Phottix Indra 500. I added the wide angle reflector with grid and diffusion attached.

I have been working with this light for about a month now and I am very impressed with its versatility as well as its ease of use. I’ve worked with extremely high end systems in the past, and these definitely are on par with those.

My model for the afternoon was a good friend, the beautiful Julianna. We have been friends for about 9 years and she is always a total pleaser to photograph! You can find her on Instagram here and here.

The last 2 images take full advantage of the Indra's High Speed Sync ability. It has been such a huge add to my kit!
