Hi everyone
Just a quick update to let you know that I have created an online album for my Project 325 images on our Facebook Fan Page. You can view the album here.
Today’s image is a result of a little bit of experimentation in the studio. The backdrop is set up for a high-key effect which is achieved by placing a strobe with a bounce umbrella at either end of the backdrop. The umbrellas ensure a nice wide spread of light on the backdrop. These lights are metered so that f/11 is achieved when a reading is taken from the middle of the backdrop. Please refer to my video blog regarding light meters to get a refresher on how to do this.
The main light is the beauty dish and grid attachment, mounted high on a boom stand and almost directly overhead of the subject, as shown in the lighting diagram. This light is metered at f/8. The image was shot with one of my Fujifilm S5 Pro's; 1/125th shutter speed, f/7.1 @ISO100.
With this set-up you can get a bright white background with a bit of edge light spilling from the backdrop onto the subject. The grid on the beauty dish ensures plenty of contrast and shadows on the subject; which is really the opposite to what the backdrop is doing. It works well I think.
Ok, it’s late and this is a quick update. See ya!
