Glad you mentioned the change in the blog look. Those of us on Google Reader wouldn’t have known, otherwise. Very nice, clean look to it.
Enjoy the rest of the Asian tour. Looking forward to the next update.
Tim Skipper says
That looks like so much fun, oh and BTW is it possible to make a bad picture of Evon? She is beautiful
Gabriel Not says

Love this post — also the fresh blog design for the new year.
Have a great 2011!
Steve Schuenke says
Joe,
I wholeheartedly agree — the combination of the EZYbox and the tri-grip is hard to beat for location lighting. I can’t tell from the production shots though, what hardware are you using to link the paint pole to the EZYbox?

Mo says
Great pics Joe. Looks like a lot of fun. I just have a question for you. On the 6th pic, the one with softbox/boom arm setup. what kind of accessories did you use? is it just the boom stand/arm and the stuff that came with the EZ softbox or did you use additional accessories to be able to tilt the softbox? I cannot tell from the pic. Thanks
Iden Ford says
Fantastic
Were you using the 30″ Ezybox?
And the one shot on the skybridge of the model has a blue background on the bridge. Did you gel the key light with a cto and wb the camera at Tungsten to get that deeper shade of blue?
Nice jacket with you on the podium
Great stuff Joe
Best

Edwin says
I love the new look of the blog. I shows off your personality Joe! too bad you rarely come to Manila. 😎
Theis Poulsen says
Funny thing is these things makes me want to go to the other side of the world for a workshop.
They just look like they are cooler than any other workshop.
Two opstions create something like it in europe or save up for the trip…. hmmm me know thinking 🙂
Glyn Dewis says
Yet again I find myself sat here in silence looking through your shots. Great stuff as always Joe and that first David Hobby-esque shot is killer!
Thanks for sharing and enjoy your time out there.
Best wishes to you and yours,
Glyn
Andrew says
Joe, you should post the photo with the Mad Man behind Evon

Great new blog theme btw! Well done!
Tonia says
Thanks for sharing the set-up shots as well as the completed images. I also enjoyed seeing the different angles. As always inspirational work!
Keith I says
Huge thanks, Joe! You talked about the EzyBox at the New Hampshire DLWS and I finally bought the 24″ model. Seeing this blog post inspired me to finally get it out and put it to use. WOW! What an outstanding tool! I know it will get a lot of use. Time to look up my notes from DLWS for some of your pointers…
Brian Worley says
Wow another great range of pictures. I can somehow imagine the conversation with a check-in clerk when you try to travel with a section of crowd control barrier and talk of it as a light modifier 🙂

Yet another great McNally Production. Looks like an awesome time.
And nice new look to the blog! Me likey!
Holly Bain says
Love the new look of the blog.
Ivan says
That looks like so much fun! Thanks for sharing your behind the scenes shots. Wonderful!
Tony Sal says
Everytime your web designer changes the look of your blog I always say “Why did they do that?”
I always preferred the prior version. Change just for the sake of a New Year does not always make sense as the visual identity previously established is lost.
I suggest considering that for next year but only if you can go back to last year’s style.
Sincerely,
Tony Sal
Paul says
Hi Joe, it was such an honor to meet you last week, I had a blast and learned so much. It was great to be able to see you work first hand, you truly are an inspiration!
Please if you can, post the jump shot you took in the stair well – breathtaking and unforgettable!
Thanks again for your patience, guidance and inspiration! Best of luck for the rest of the tour.
Best wishes,
Paul

Nice new design on the blog. I especially like the Numnut´s drawing in the upper right corner. 🙂
Looking forward to see more epic stuff from you in 2011.

Great post, really interesting and enjoyable to see behind the scenes at this shoot, plus excellent photographs to go with it!
Jacques says
Great post, Joe! Had not heard of the EZYBox until I saw this post. Have now done quite a bit of research and plan to pick up a set for use with my SB-900 on an upcoming trip to Kenya.
Tom says
Just wanted to reinforce the comment regarding the orange link text. It’s barely readable here. The equipment page in particular is now very hard to read.
Alexis says
Great presentation, informative, enlightening — and fun! Thank you!

Great images, makes me wish I was there.

This summer i have done my own version of this picture, when i was doing a photographyc course.
The model was Maria, and we work really good. I use one 580EXII througth an umbrella on my left.
Them we use another 580 on the back, for the blue light.
Vincent says
Looks fun! Great behind the scenes pictures.
