Trying something different that I saw done on the internet. My photoshop rain is not the best but it's a work in progress:) Used two speedlights, one tie wrapped under the umbrella and one in a softbox out of frame.

06/12 Edit: I redid the rain effect and it looks better I think...though now it kind of resembles stars maybe?

Edit: A couple people messaged me asking to see the raw photo without any effect on it.

Thats really cool! :)) Great edit I need to learn this things. Not good with it at all haha EvaLizette · 2012-06-12: 03:39

what a brilliant result! I always admire your creativity using the two speedlights! I own one sb900, and have yet to explore its capabilities! Riyaz · 2012-06-12: 07:34
