A friend thought that would be fun to set up a pinup photo shoot at her house, with people to do hair, makeup etc. and asked me to be one of the photographers. Sorry Frank, all of the primary models were women, though we had a couple guys on hand as extras.
I tried shooting with a high key background, used white board from home depot for the floor and white seamless for the back. I didn't have enough light on the back, so I had issues to deal with in post. Also the seams between the floor panels needed to be dealt with in post. I did discover that I could drag the spot remover in lightroom to remove a line, so that made things easier. I was never really happy with my lighting, but it wasn't a total failure. Lighting was a 7' umbrella on the model (no fill light and just the room as fill reflector) and a smaller softbox on the background. Since the stage was in a corner, I only had one side, and the front for setting up lights. I shot about 1300 frames, and narrowed it down a bit for this set: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157641128305303/ Comments and suggestions on improving the lighting appreciated. -- Larry Colen [email protected] http://red4est.com/lrc -- 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.
