Our Fun Ride! Strobist Action with a 1970s Volkswagen Beetle!

Met up with two old friends from my high school days yesterday. Just for fun we decided to do a photo shoot together with a new, old car that one of them bought; A 1970s Volkswagen Beetle! I’m not into cars but I could tell that this was a classic from a glance.

It is a true beauty although I didn’t feel entirely safe in it while on the roads back from our usual hangout place, Punggol Nasi Lemak Centre at Kovan. I believe this is largely due to the driver /grin.

The shot was taken using 2 Nikon SB900 Speedlights, 2 Pocket Wizard FlexTT5, a Pocket Wizard MiniTT1 and an AC3 Zone Controller. It’s unbelievable how convenient it is to do this kind of shoots with an AC3 Zone Controller. Why? Because I can control the power of my Nikon SB900s wirelessly; even when the flashes are out of sight!

Here are two of the shots we took:

The follow pictures will give you an idea of my setup:

    Real cool. I like vintage cars including mini coopers. The Volkswagen Beetle is a real beauty. Hope to see it on the roads.
