I checked the Website of Kevin and it your says that there will be a new website. I also tried to mail him, but no response so far....any other sources where to get it?! Cheers, Carsten Jan 16 07 02:12 am Link This direct link is working for me: http://www.kevinkertz.com/fm/LightingSetup.psd.zip I've updated it in the OP.

I must say I can't remember the f-stops for that one and the MF camera I was shooting with at that time did not get the Exif data onto the back, so I don't have exif, but I'm gussing something like f22 on keylight. maybe f16 Jan 16 07 07:58 pm Link This is without doubt one of the most useful threads on MM (or anywhere!) Can't wait to get a chance to look at everything. Jan 17 07 02:38 am Link Glad you like it. Hope to see another setup soon!

Jan 19 07 08:00 am Link oops double post Jan 19 07 08:03 am Link It doesn't work with Elements cuz elements doesn't have folders.

Someone posted a workaround for Elements and it does work. Jan 20 07 07:58 pm Link Lovely Front and back lighting. And Result!

Do you use this in Photoshop? Jan 23 07 12:48 am Link Yes. 1. Download the Lighting Diagram. 2. Open the PSD in Photoshop.

Jan 23 07 10:43 am Link Mac Swift wrote: The beauty dish. Larger beauty dish: if conditions and transportation warrants. This larger dish gives more dimension and âwrap-around qualityâ to the final image. It takes up a lot of space when Iâm working on location, but the final look, with the added diffusion baffles, is well worth it Jan 23 07 10:48 am Link Bump Shakalaka Bump....!!

That doesn't make sense to me based on how the light looks. Jan 24 07 11:44 am Link Bump. This should stay on the first page forever. Jan 25 07 02:13 am Link David Poata wrote: Sorry, what was I thinking when I posted that???? I meant 1 stop over the Key L but was having problems with burn out so kept bumping rim light down guessing bout 2/3 of a stop, sorry again for posting incorrect info, sheesh Jan 25 07 08:06 am Link Hello everyone. I made a diagram with that little PSD file, saved as a JPG. Now how do I get it in my post? I tried yesterday, and couldn't figure it out. Thanks J Jan 25 07 08:26 am Link It might be interesting to see people use ONLY 1 light and as many modifiers for different finally results! Jan 25 07 09:12 am Link Ok Here I go Gets you the top and middle one. I'll post later for the third one. Jan 25 07 01:23 pm Link A very nifty tool, a a great thread. My first contribution... And this was the finished result (minor PS work). http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s204 … 1169762540 Edit: I forgot that I could not post an 18+ image, sorry...

Jan 27 07 02:07 am Link Wow, this information is awsome for someone like me who is trying to learn. but seriously, of all this thread, the very first example just blows my mind! I find myself going back to that picture just to see it again. It's become my favorite example of a great picture with great colors and lighting. anyways, thanks for this thread. sorry i have nothing to contribute, im a noob with noob equipment Jan 27 07 03:57 pm Link A K.I.S.S. light set up keep it simple stupid LOL Jan 27 07 06:44 pm Link Photography by Amber wrote: The redhead on my old one? Simple. A 36"x48" softbox to camera right literally just out of frame level with the model and a 16"x48" strip box placed below her at about her mid thigh level and pointing straight up. Kind of a neat effect, eh? My new avatar was done the same way but I used a white reflector camera left and just out of frame. Jan 27 07 09:26 pm Link |
