Michael Blue - In the Spotlight

One of the most fun things about social media is never knowing what kind of response a post might generate. Last week I shared a short Profoto video and Michael Blue from Carlsbad, California commented in the GoingPro forum on Facebook.  Michael wrote:

"I'm the proud papa of (3) B1 500 TTLs along with many Profoto light modifiers. Great, easy, flexible but not cheap."

He then went on and posted the image above with the following comment:

"I even use for outdoor landscapes at certain locations. One B1 light used here. Light can be up to 1000 ft away from camera."

I love the image above and to Michael's comment, Profoto is a perfect example of that old one-liner, "you get what you pay for!"

If you'd like more information about Michael and his work, follow him on Facebook. When I asked him for permission to share this image he also showed me another application. It's the perfect image for his phone's wallpaper!

And, for those of you who never saw any of the original videos when the B1 launched in the fall of 2013, watch this short piece below and think about the technology involved in creating these images!
