I love shooting after a rain. It cleans the air, and most of the time leaves big beautiful clouds behind. Since in San Diego we don’t get that as often as other parts of the country, I took advantage of it when I photographed Todd Baek, an up-and-coming high school golfer. It was late in day, and I used one small pocket sized strobe on a light stand to the left of the camera, and narrowed the beam of light on the strobe to 50mm giving me the light falloff throughout the frame other than on his face and upper body. I used a 16-35mm lens set at 16mm and a PocketWizard to trigger the strobe. If you're wondering about the name of this post, "Sportrait," it's the new lingo to describe a sports portrait....
