This morning, I shot a portrait of the editor of University of South Alabama's student newspaper, The Vanguard. Used a 550EX on camera with a second 550EX slaved and mounted on a tripod. 70-200 2.8L compressed all the elements together to create an interesting portrait. This was the best one, however I cut off the "V" in Vanguard while shooting, 'twas a mistake I shouldn't have made.

Ate at Waffle House, then shot this portrait of a local businessman. He is part of a contracting firm in Mobile. Again, two flashes were used, one slaved and mounted on a tripod.

Afterwards, back to the office. It was a slow day, press conference happened later. Coach at the U of S. Alabama was announcing his retirement.

The portraits look great. Looks like you have been doing them for years.
