#184 - Snowy Kiss

Here is another sneak peek of Brad and Genevieve, the couple that I had the privilege of shooting their engagement on Monday night. I will have the rest of the set posted tomorrow - Christmas Eve - yay! For the shoot I rented a D700 for the first time which was a big mistake cause now I have to have one - $$$ I have read many reviews over the past few months but had no idea that it would make that much of a difference and the low light focusing was amazing, aside from the tricky falling snow.

D700 - ISO 1600 (tee hee), 1/200, f2.8

I would have rather of used a 2 light set up with umbrellas for softer light but the wind was too strong and with the cold shooting conditions I had to move quick and light so I was limited to one light on a stick. I am planning on buying a softbox but I assume the wind would affect that as well. Any suggestions on what kind and what size of softbox I should get for my first one. I plan on using it for my Nikon flashes and would like it to be easy to transport.
