Yesterday I had a test shoot with Maren Elise Aasen (Trend Models / Team Models). Despite working with a minimum amount of equipment and doing the shoot rather impulsively it turned out quite okay. Helping me out with make-up was Ann Karin Williams Aastø from OurStyle.
The setup consisted of a Nikon D800, Nikon MB-D12, Nikon Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8G vrII and a Nikon SB-900 mounted on a bracket and with attached to a i-TTL flash cord. The lens in the picture is a 35mm f/1.4G which were to wide. I had set the SB-900 to fire of with a power output of 1/8th-1/16th and zoom at around 90-120mm. Since I have mounted the flash so close to the lens it gives you a smaller shadow behind the subject. I have been looking to buy a flash bracket from Custom Brackets which does exactly this without having the standard bracket twisting.
