I bought a universal soft box for my studio strobes about five years ago, when I was kinda somewhat into doing more studio photography. Then I never used it. It’s a pain in the butt to set up and changing the setting once you’ve buttoned it all up requires the skills of a contortionist. But Grace wanted me to shoot her in the studio. And I do have that 24-70/2.8 to play with. Brick walls aren’t exactly inspiring. So we did a set of pis. I’ll post the whole gallery of about a dozen of so once i’ve rendered them all, but here’s one. Grace has great modeling instincts. The soft box is okay even though it’s pain in the butt.
The softbox was to care left and a second strobe firing into an umbrella was high to camera right, a stop or two down from the soft box setting. had to shoot at f11 to get the exposure I wanted. Would have preferred f4 or so, but this works. The background texture doesn’t show, and i definitely wouldn’t have wanted it any sharper. Lens was at 70m here. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=18201588 -- 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.
