THERE IS NO SANCTUARY

Oakland, California.
Reading about the blockade, siege and ongoing massacre of Gaza and thinking about HAMAS, the IDF, how the worm turns and Henry Shoskes’s book about the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, No Traveler Returns.
South Hall at UC Berkeley.
A recent Strobist post involved how to shoot a person who’s not too keen on “having my picture taken,” and discussed the use of a shoot-through umbrella combined with on-axis fill flash. So, after dinner Saturday, we tried out some lighting ratios in a loose and, uh, eccentric atmosphere.
This is lit from about 45° camera left and high, using a Canon Speedlite 580EXII with a shoot-through umbrella. I added some fill on the right side using the 580EX on-camera (but off-axis to the right, camera vertical) with the Omnibounce, dropped 2 stops.
