The lighting really makes them look as if standing in front of the backdrop :-) Very 3Dish.

I'm newly enabled with a Westcott Apollo Medium (28") softbox, picked up Saturday, and I can now heartily endorse that kit after two two-hour shoots and various playing about in my office studio. It folds and mounts like an umbrella, is very light weight, and is an amazingly efficient light source. It does act like a sail though and very nearly blew over despite a 20 or 30 pound weight on its stand. I need to refine my sandbagging technique. I concentrated on individual portraiture with varying mixes of ambient light, but I also did a few quick (meaning not well posed) group shots just to see how that'd work. This one really grabbed me ... http://flic.kr/p/f1KeGj K20D, DA* 16-50mm/2.8, F5.6, 1/160th, ISO 400. AF540FGZ on wireless trigger in Apollo 28" softbox; gelled with Rosco #02: Bastard Straw. Lr & Nik Suite. More results coming later. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
