Malaga, Spain - The Final Days

In the days of rain

I’m finishing up a ten day trip to Spain with a couple riders from San Diego and to be honest we were rained on for the better half of the trip. At one point we made it back to the airport only to find that every rental car place was booked solid for two weeks straight.  So driving to Barci was out of the question.

Every other day it was a battle against the clouds. Popping out for an hour, sometimes two hours and other times at night.  A couple days we were stuck in the muggy flat we rented and over dosed on coffee. Everyone put in some major work when the rain stopped and we are coming back with some amazing shots.  Big thanks to Rueben and Stefan for showing us around and making us dinner last night.  And big thanks to youtube for for keeping us sane on the days were were cooped up. Here is a shot from the castle we hiked to on the fifth day. 

This week I got to try out the new Elinchrom Ranger Quadra A pack and head and I give it a preliminary grade of A-.  The power is max at 400 watts, the modeling light is bright, the controls are a little confusing without the manual nearby and with a bigger reflector I’d say this is the best new flash for action photography on the market. Good job Elinchrom. Finally a fast pack without a car battery. Looking forward to next week with a couple Red Bull photo shoots and some more Vans shoots coming up.
