Friday 12th March 2010

I spent most of today walking around and taking photographs of the whole world .... all within the confines of the exhibition halls of the ITB (International Tourism Trade Exhibition) in Berlin. ITB is the largest such exhibition in the world, and the trouble that some companies / countries go to on their stands is breathtaking !!
On this stand, a photographer was offering to take your portrait photograph with a middle-eastern background ....

.... and I loved his improvised flash arrangement - both reflective umbrellas were camouflaged with a woven cloth covering and this one was tied to the out-of-service flash head with rope; and the active Dynasun flash bulbs were fitted into an E14 socket clipped onto the dead flash head !!!
