It&#8217;s big enough to function as a main light, but with its narrow\u00a0profile and a removable mask, it works great as a strip\/accent light that can add additional creative style to your photos.<\/p>\n<p>The small version of the HalfDome packs quite small and it hardly weighs anything, which makes it very\u00a0easy to carry to when doing location photography, even outside.<\/p>\n<p>My lesson details all of the\u00a0gear I used during the shoot, as well as the lighting techniques and placement I typically use when I&#8217;m photographing action and outdoor portraits with\u00a0off-camera flash. And how to keep your softbox from blowing over when you&#8217;re trying to shoot outside in the wind.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.photoflex.com\/lessons\/mountain-biking-photography-with-accent-lighting\/\">Read my lighting lesson here<\/a>.
