Leica M9 + 1950s Leica Summaron 35mm f3.5

Candid shot from yesterday's model photograp[hy workshop in London, with photographer, makeup artist and model and then a view of the minimal lighting equipment we used - one bare speedlight each sharing a light stand. That's all you really need.

The next London Workshiop will be in Ocotber for more of the same.

I am quite a practical thinker so probably use some techniques that you might not find in a magazine. Here I was teaching a photographer how to control the output power of his DSLR pop-up flash. If the flash is too bright and he is using ISO 100 and at f2.8 to obtain a shallow depth of field and he doesn't have an ND filter then what next, if keeping the same composing using a prime lens without PP cropping? If you want the flash to be 1/3 power output then cover 2/3 of the pop up flash with you finger, half power, cover half of the flash and so on. It sounds simple but it works. I rarely use pop-up flash as for starters Leica M cameras do not have a pop up flash but if I was in the same situation with say a Nikon then this is how I do it.
