Ok, so i figured there was still time to make some shots. all shot tonight, none are perfect, all done with the 5dmkii and kit lens.

Enjoy!

Theme 1 - Motor
This one was either going to go in "movement" or motor, and i thought of a better idea for movement.

Image

(I know it's not as clean as it could be but hey cut me some slack, I'm trying for four themes in an hour here)

Nikon sb24 in a shoebox with a blue gel at 1/8 power.
Difusion gel sheet on top of the shoebox, the watch is sitting on that.
There is an umbrella box with a Metz sca3000 at 1/4 power behind and above the whole setup, and the whole lot is radio triggered.

---

Theme 2 - White on white

A bit of a cop-out i know, but it's a milk drop. i added an orange reflector (shoebox) to add a little bit of colour. you can see the setup shot on my flickr.

Image

Metz SCA 3000 camera right, about 6 inches from the plate, 1/256 power, less 1/3stop (minimum power). orange reflector to cast a bit of colour in the shadow, camera left. see the setup photo linked above for more.
(also if you look closely, you can see the shoebox text reflected in the shadow area)

Theme 3 - Pain

Ok, this was a tricky one in the short time i have... so i took it literally and fired a studio strobe at my face.

Image

Cheapo 150 w/s studio strobe, fired at 1/16 power, hand held (duh). the rest of the shot is lit by an SB24 (or it could be the Metz again) at about a quater power facing the lit side of the strobe body.

i can still feel my face burn

Theme 4 - Movement

It's a over exposed, has camera movement and far from ideal framing i know. cut me some slack, once again this is 4 themes in an hour! (it's hard to juggle so many things in such a short time *boom tish*)

Image

Metz SCA 3000 camera right, snooted, 20hz, 10 cycles. sb24 camera left and across the room, 1/4 power. radio triggered, hand held.

and yep, that's me in the shot.
