Unprepared

Tonight I had a fantastic photo shoot with my friend Shari. After I got all the shots I needed, she wanted me to take a few shots of her for her boyfriend and had fun with it. I was using my wireless remote for the shoot and I just happened to catch this unguarded moment that was perfect.

We shot in the dark and I used a flash, but I don't have any umbrellas or diffusers so I taped folded layers of a paper towel over the flash. About 3/4 through the shoot I started smelling something burning. I took off the paper towel and sure enough the flash had burned tiny holes through 2 of the layers. Just goes to show you that going cheap isn't always the best way to do things.
