One Snap at a Time

Hope I did the strobist thing some justice. Planning to come back and shoot more as soon as my Cactus V2 flash trigger and receiver arrives.
My camera was glitching during the shoot and I can’t seem to adjust aperture and shutter speed. This [...]

Just sharing a shot from our recent meet up at the Souq Waqaf here in Doha:
