On this experiment I used 2 strobes to create a high-key lighting portrait.  One strobe was positioned camera right at 1/4 power through a white umbrella. The second strobe was right behind the subject (pointing towards the subject) shoulder level at full power also through a white umbrella.  The backgr0und was an almost white wall which helped.  I didn’t try pointing the second flash towards the wall but I believe it would have worked just as well.

This year I had the opportunity to participate in Scott Kelby’s second annual Worldwide Photowalk, leading the Arlington group.  It was fun to walk around Crystal City with 13 other passionate photogs snaping pictures of everything we saw (even our shadows).  We even had the opportunity to crash a couple of wedding photoshoots that were taking place at the Crystal City Water Park.

The route went all the way to the Gravelly Point park via the Mt. Vernon trail where we had the chance to snap a few pictures of the airplanes taking off the runway and where we decided to take our group picture (see below).

We ended our photowalk sharing our experiences over tapas at Jaleo spanish restaurant in Crystal Dr.

Here are some of the pictures taken by different Photowalkers:
