Model Mayhem, not a newbie, Stephanie Ikeler and I decided to collaborate on some themed pin-up style photos after our last shoot. We figured we could help each other out by building her port and helping me learn some more lighting styles. So this week's theme was Spring!!! Simple shot as far as lighting, Softbox (key light) 30 degrees from camera left, at about 7 feet, fill at 45 degrees from camera right with umbrella, and background light with yellow gel. Shot at f11, 1/125, shutter and 62mm. My flash meter said f9, but it was clipping the highlights, so I bracketed the shot and this combination had the best exposure on the histogram, a nice pyramid. I wish I would have given her a pair of pruning shears to make this a little cuter, but it still works.
We also did some Natural Light, candid shots that will be posted on my web-site over the next two days. It was interesting that we really didn't get into a groove today, but after reviewing the pictures it appears that we captured some cool stuff.
Next week we are going to do a outdoors Nikon CLS type of shot around 7:00 PM. That's right, I'm not just a studio guy, I'm aspiring to become a "Strobist."
Thanks to Stephanie for the idea, costume and perseverance to put up with me.
That's a wrap!!!
