A new snoot

In the wee hours of last night's journey into this morning I built a new snoot by modifying one that fits on a studio flash so that it goes on my speedlight and can take gel filters.  The idea is to have it throwing a confined but diffuse pool of light, as you can see in the pic of me at the bottom (there was no-one else around to oblige ;-).  Late this afternoon we went to the beach to see if we could catch a couple of waves - it was lovely, cool, pleasant breeze - water was fine and there was a bit of swell - about right for Aiden and Ev (the boys were sporting their hand-me-down wetsuits - never a good idea taking kids out when they have wetsuits and you dont - brrrr by the end). So I took the snoot along (not that you really need it in that kind of space) and shot some tungsten yellow gel shots of the sort that Jens taught me years ago - I think they are pretty cool though - nutella on Aiden's face - "petrol" in the car on the way to the beach.
