Larry's words: ..Nope. .. ..There were some interesting aspects to the lighting from last night that ..I think it could be fun to explore. I was wondering if anyone else had ..already done something like that, how it worked and how they ..accomplished it. .. ..I don't want totally flat lighting, but large, directional, diffuse ..lighting.
Well, I didn't do it - back in time I'd just use "papel vegetal" (vegetable paper is the meaning, it's how we call around here a highly translucent paper with very good heat tolerance) across light tripods or otherwise built frames. Bigger than our 1.5 meter hazy, way smaller than you need. But I'd give it a try either hanging from the ceiling or building a frame of sorts - made frames with PVC piping, for a friend's studio, and they are lightweight and simple to assemble. Fabrics or plastics will offer you various degrees of diffusion. Of course, heavy materials would require strong frames. Of course some tent may be readily available... and there are high end materials, and some of us love wood... or you may use aluminum tubing and build a fully modular system... Serious, a number of frames that may be covered with translucent or reflective materials is very helpful in a studio/ location shot. If you don't find near you or mail-available, just build it. Don't forget to post the pics ;-) Luiz Felipe luiz.felipe at techmit.com.br http://www.techmit.com.br/luizfelipe -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
