Pic Spocket

Few weeks ago, I bought a couple of lightstands and umbrellas to be able to use my flash off the camera.

An evening last week, we did a very quick setup to take some Christmas pictures with Newton. We got him a Christmas hat and antlers from the dollar store for fun.

We were more than happy with the results, considering the small amount of preparation we used for this. I have setup a second flash unit, a very basic Vivitar 285HV manual flash for the background illumination.

Enough details.. Here are some pictures we got with this setup:
