With photography gear, sometimes I suffer from price fatigue where it can just seems normal to spend hundreds of dollars for that little bit of plastic/metal. I did a shoot recently where the weather forecast was for constant rain and I needed protection for my speedlights. I have many accessories for the speedlights, mostly form David Honl, but I really wish he would develop a waterproofing system as good as the product I ended up using……Sandwich bags from Glad.

Gotta love the little things!
Try some velcro cable tidies to the bags secure to your speedlites if it’s windy.
One of my little things is I keep an old but large drybag in my case that was given to me. I’m sure it still works as a drybag but during shoots anything I take out of my bag during a low visability shoot gets placed on it’s BRIGHT orange surface.
I love your photography Gavin. Sadly I missed your talk you gave at Team Digital in Perth recently as I didn’t know you were here!!!! I really want to learn how to use my speed lights and get the kind of effects you achieve with this wonderful lighting. Can you explain how you worked out this shot of the truck? It’s brilliant. Love the deep blue, night time look.
Let me know when you are coming to Perth again so I can attend your seminar.
