This truly looks like a suitable photo for a steakhouse! The red background says “red meat is sold here”
(not that I eat red meat)
Thank you for sharing your pics of the day, truly enjoyed it and looking forward to see what you post for the New Year!

That is simply Breathtaking!
LOVE IT!
Gorgeous!
Sarah and Stephen braved the coldest day of the year here in Lindsay. They did a great job of enjoying the session and cold brisk winds. They both currently live in Bermuda and are tying the knot July 2010.

Amazing, simple and beautifull. The couple must be with their jaws wide open by now as they see the result.
That last shot is absolutely beautiful! Great work again… no surprises there.
The couple are actually standing on a mound of snow on a municipal dead end road 
The foreground are other mounds pushed by the plow truck but out of focus from a shallow depth of field. The trees in the background are behind them out of view as I shot about 6 inches off the roadway.
The couple in the last photo appear to be standing on top of the world. Excellent vision Mark.
A behind the scene look at the above photo with two 580EX II’s being fired with the ST-E2 It was a great overcast day so the set up worked great. On sunny days to many issues with firing multiple lights with the ST-E2. Pocket Wizards for those days

Thanks to your excellent references to the Radio Poppers I received a pair for my birthday. The stand I purchased was a rather economical Opus-OPL-KT62205, it was less than $50.00. While still new the bottom legs need some prodding to extract them from a completely folded position. Leaving the bottom locking nut loose, the legs will come out with a downward jerk. I’d imagine through normal wear and tear they’d just fall open. Thanks for the tips.

Okay, those stands are definitely the coolest thing I’ve seen all day. Thanks for the link Mark! I will be ordering a set.
The site dose suggest they will hold mono lights so shouldn’t be a problem.
I’m sure they could hold a small head but not sure if I would trust them without an assistant holding the stand or having extra weight. They are however excellent as stand alone with flashes. The whole purpose of these is you just drop them down and the legs open automatically Made for a one man show. I purchased them from Dennys in the USA after shooting a wedding with Tricoast Photography from Texas. They use them all the time ansd after seeing them in action couldn’t resist. Alot easier then dragging out my big honking stands and fiddling with the sections and legs. These were a no brainer.

Oh man! I need to get me a set of those lightstands! They look extremely portable… How do you think they’d hold up with a monolight on top?
Behind the scenes pics are the best! Thanks for posting.
Really like these small portable lighting setups. Thanks for the link, I’ll check it out.
The flash behind her is bare bulb…no diffusion. The flash in front I have the ultimate flash diffuser attached. Works great….I use it more then any other diffuser I have (and I have them all
Hey Mark,
What is that you are using to diffuse your flashes? … and do they eat up a lot of light? Always looking for new things to try!
