Lighting Setup Tutorials: basic to advanced
Motel Blue:  Setup:  SB800 in 24" softbox on a boom (~7 ft high, angled down), in front of a model M x 1/4 silver reflector below two SB600's on left and right (w/small flags), behind a model: M x1/2 Fired w/SU800 Nikon D300 + 24-70 f2.8 1/250s f8 ISO 200 www.MariuszJeglinski.com Jan 25 10 08:57 am Link Hi Mariusz, am I right, that the grid on the softbox causes more sharpness to the model's contours or is it a postprocessed result? Thanks, Marco Jan 26 10 10:45 am Link Actually I use grids on my softboxes to make light more directional. Grid helps me to put light where I want it, and not where I don't.

Found some really funky as well as helpful links on this site: http://www.vandyll.net/?tag=photography Some of the links DO work... some don't. But this one is especially entertaining: http://www.photoworkshop.com/static/lig … index.html http://www.photoworkshop.com/rooms3d BUT... the Hensel Light Guides are very cool and those links do work. Haven't been through the whole thing on the vandyll.net, but glad to have come across it though. Hope that people find use for the links. Feb 15 10 11:35 pm Link Fun with retro styled session.

I wanted to get some shimmer light on modelâs skin so I suspended a hammock vertically fairly close to the model. I placed AB1600 with 7â reflector and 20 degree grid about 6-7 feet away from hammock. This way hard light was partially softened by hammock but still was leaving distinguishable marks on the skin. ![https://lh3.ggpht.com/_0uiOYpify-g/S6vx80gIY0I/AAAAAAAAIhI/4sM6cmgf83g/lighting-diagram-1269550127[2].png?imgmax=800](https://lh3.ggpht.com/_0uiOYpify-g/S6vx80gIY0I/AAAAAAAAIhI/4sM6cmgf83g/lighting-diagram-1269550127[2].png?imgmax=800) Mar 27 10 08:13 am Link hermans wrote: Add it to your favorites. I have a sub-folder under photography called threads. Mar 27 10 09:39 am Link A bum bump BUMP! Found a fascinating blog from one of Dick Avedon's assistants in the 50's and 60's. http://lifeslittleadventures.typepad.co … don_years/ He talks quite a bit about Dick's lighting as well as approach to photography. Not so much a "hand-held" lesson mind you but well worth the read! Dick Avedon is a personal hero of mine! Mar 29 10 01:33 am Link This needs more updates... How about you pick something from my port and I'll give you the breakdown on it...

I know there was a house on that side, and my yellow truck right behind. Maybe I was just lucky, lol. Either way, it convinced me to shoot available more often, glad it happened.

Mar 29 10 11:16 am Link BUMP! Mar 30 10 09:00 am Link Another one where the 27" Beauty Dish is aimed at the model with the sun for ambient/fill. Calumet Travelite 750 @ 1/2 power about 6' away and with the center of the dish about nose level.

Hopefully it helps someone!    ....and the setup:  Mar 31 10 05:09 pm Link DBartkowiak Photography wrote: what time did you take this photo?
