Lighting Setup Tutorials: basic to advanced
Thanks for your help Gibson! I can see the images on your document just fine (usually impossible due to a Flickr block in this country) but for future reference here's a quick way if you ever want to do a PDF: with the thread open, go to File > Print > then select the page numbers required and instead of the default printer location, scroll & select 'Adobe PDF'. Voilla.. Thanks again. Jul 25 09 01:22 pm Link I've missed the pdf's for 15 through to 25. Whereabouts can I find them. Thanks in advance.

The ceiling was about 15' with small emergency type lights on it, so I don't think the affected the shot. The model, Michelle Monroe, was stood in front of an open doorway which was dircetly adjacent to a huge window letting in tons of natural light. Also there was a small strobe on very low power with a blue gel on it, pointing to the models left, with a set of barn doors on. This was positioned just inside the doorway at a low level. This was to try and accentuate her body scape/shape/contours. Jul 27 09 07:14 am Link Yes. This has been very helpful! Thanks to everyone.

Either a grid or speedlight behind and to the left of the model. Actually a rather easy shot.

I have been trying to do this type of shot for a while, but i always seem to end up with a very noisy photo, or with the light spilling out too much.

But i figured i should add it here also since it gives another lighting setup for the people who keep track of this thread.

AWESOME results with the 6mp cam though. Sep 20 09 01:37 pm Link Sep 29 09 10:10 am Link Jason Bassett wrote: Hey Jason. Thanks for the feedback. For the moment I am just focusing on lighting with only one light. Haven't even added a reflector or bounce card. After I feel I got the one light & reflectors I'll start adding an additional light. Almost there. Sep 30 09 05:53 pm Link |
