Self Portrait - Take 2
Posted: Sun Sep 21, 2008 10:41 pmThis is my second shoot working on this concept.
I switched to the darker jumper and found that the hood is actually smaller, so I couldn't get the shadows on my face I had originally envisaged. Given they weren't too popular perhaps that is a good thing!! I worked the light a bit more and am pretty happy with that one, with one exception, so let rip!!
This was anther one I liked while playing with just one light. I think it breaks a few rules, maybe that's why I like it.
This is the setup shop. I was sitting on the chair, camera on the tripod in the foreground, lights are SB800s atop Poon's light stands and sporting some sections of a corn flakes box to stop any light spill onto the background which is a hideously yellow wall. Must get to the paint shop... The SBs were triggered with CLS and set to the same power, about 1/64 from memory.
[EDIT] The black device sitting on the chair is the sender unit of the Phottix remote available through poon which I used to fire the shutter from the chair.
Cheers.
