My dad was getting ready for a banquet tonight and wanted a picture with his medals.

I thought maybe I would just follow him to the banquet, or perhaps another location before the banquet, but he wanted to take the shot at his home.

Needless to say there isn't a lot of room to set anything up.

I didn't have any backgrounds with me, so I used the outer cover for a large reflector and duct taped it to the blinds of a large window (see setup shot).

closed down 60" umbrella.

2 YN-560 flashes set to 1-2 power each mounted with a Phottix multi-boom.

Triggered with PW Plus X
ISO 100
1-200SS
f-5.0

Canon 5D II + 50L
