Granddaughter photo shoot on an evening beach in Carlsbad, California. Kongo has rented a beach house for a long weekend and had fun playing with a new Speedlite 600EX-RT.

After enjoying several recent sunsets on the the West Coast, it was interesting to see the differences to those on the East Coast of Florida. Continue reading “East Coast Sunset”

Alas is was not to be and Kongo wasn’t the only one looking for the green flash last night. There were other weird things about this photo shoot which just goes to show you that monkey photographers have to be ready for anything.
