I must admit, curiosity got the best of me and I Googled Molly and looked at 
images of her. The tattoos are progressing nicely. Her back is really filling

Thanks John. I don't intend to go nuts with equipment and I'll start off
small. I'd not seen 'Light Science & Magic' but the 5th edition is on its
way to me now. Nothing I have goes into any real detail, and I'd like to
read the book before buying anything else. Having said that I have seen the
Sekonic L 408 light meter. My light meter comes from another age, certainly
film days and I suspect a while before Pentax introduced the K lens mount! I
know for certain that needs to be updated.

Malcolm




I used the L-408 as an example because it's the one I'm most familiar
with. I'm sure there are other meters just as good.

The thing about using an incident meter is it lets me expose for the
light falling on the subject, which generally gives me an image with the
light parts light, the dark parts dark and the mid-tones properly
exposed, without having to figure out where the in-camera meter is
getting it's information from and having to compensate if it's getting
its reading from the wrong place.

No doubt there are other meters which are as good but the L 408 caught my
eye as well. The water resistant bit added to the appeal! For all the
reasons you mention and more, I need to replace my meter, which I doubt
doesn't even get close to the accuracy of the K3's own metering. I'd like a
reliable, modern and accurate method of working out exposure off camera.

Thanks Bruce. I have to admit this is something which has caught my
imagination, and I can start with an open mind. I'll take a look around for
the things I need to make a start shortly. I have from a purchase of a job
lot some two or three years ago ended up with about 6 working flashes. They
will be ideal for remote by cord (they are old units) and I have several
reflectors and spare foamboard from print mounting - it's just lights as the
main expense, and I have a place to use this in good weather - I have an
empty 12' x 8' timber shed, which I can practice lighting objects in, with
no fear of people tripping over anything I set up. You have to start
somewhere!

Ha!

I spend a lot of time thinking about light Bruce. I really do my best to
avoid artificial light, and I am so pleased that you can bump up ISO a bit
now with the latest cameras, tripods give you longer shutter times and
reflectors are so useful.

However, that has got to change. I read that really difficult subjects to
correctly light for are black objects on black backgrounds; how you light
them gives them their shape and separates them from the background. I'm
going to invest in some lighting equipment nearer the end of the year and
overcome this reluctance to this subject, and give problem lighting
situations a go. Seeing I wait ages for the right light sometimes, the
opportunity to create my own actually sounds a great idea!

Get yourself a good light meter and a copy of "Light Science & Magic" by
Fil Hunter and Paul Fuqua.

Work your way through it.

I have two of this model because I consider them the best combination of

along with flash, multiple flash (build up exposure using repeated pops

You don't have to have studio strobes to start with. In fact, it might
be easier to learn what you need to learn with continuous lighting. When
I was in school, we started with hot lights. Didn't get to strobes until
the second year.

Nowadays, you don't even need the hot lights.

You can learn a lot using CFL bulbs & cheap clamp-on fixtures. Learn to
vary the light quality & intensity on the subject by moving the lights
around.

There's much to like here. It's striking image, an unusual but well thought
out composition, and as usual, the lighting is spot on.

I looked at a local gallery display recently of portrait photography by a
large number of different amateurs, and you could instantly spot those who
had and understanding of the subtle and suitable lighting. A look at the few
I have taken over the years, reveals I'm in the 'have not got the
understanding' category.

Good to hear, Malcolm. And the great thing is you can start out pretty
cheaply too.

One of my favourite tricks is to create what appears to be ambient
window light where there is none so the shot looks "natural". I do
that with one or more cheap manual flashes and some white reflector
card, or even just white walls.

Like this shot:
http://off-axis.brucemwalker.com/image/85678223657

At a quick glance everyone says, "okay: a big window camera-left, right?"

Nope. A big v-flat made of white foamcore with three $50 Neewer
flashes firing into it. One is radio triggered ($20 Cowboy Studios)
and the other two are slaved to the "master". This arrangement can be
used to light up a group of people standing, at f:5.6 ISO 100.

Your black subject on black background is a good example of a tricky
_metering_ situation, but you could easily light that with just window
light. :)

I think you'll enjoy getting into these more interesting photo
challenges. It sure keeps me busy. :)

Ha!

I spend a lot of time thinking about light Bruce. I really do my best to
avoid artificial light, and I am so pleased that you can bump up ISO a bit
now with the latest cameras, tripods give you longer shutter times and
reflectors are so useful.

However, that has got to change. I read that really difficult subjects to
correctly light for are black objects on black backgrounds; how you light
them gives them their shape and separates them from the background. I'm
going to invest in some lighting equipment nearer the end of the year and
overcome this reluctance to this subject, and give problem lighting
situations a go. Seeing I wait ages for the right light sometimes, the
opportunity to create my own actually sounds a great idea!

Re: PESO ~ Portrait of a self-portrait

[Bruce Walker]

Thank you very much, Malcolm!

As with anything, I find that the more I work with light the better I
understand it. I also find that when I study how to best use ambient
light it helps me to see how best to work with studio strobes and
modifiers, and vice-versa.

It's a trade-off: I have simplified my kit to two primes (a normal and
a "portrait") so I can concentrate on lighting and posing (and model
interaction) and not fussing with the camera. And I have restricted my
subject matter a lot too, I suppose.

Anyway, my point is that considering how important light is to great
photographs, I think everyone should spend more time focussing on
perfecting it. It's not so very difficult, you know. :)

I REALLY like this one.  Great pose, strong concept, interesting and
compelling composition.  I usually dislike purple hair, but it works
well here and is quite attractive, and the tattoos also add interest.
The camera is also elegant and well positioned, and the way she is
gazing down at it completes the image in a very special way.

Bruce,

That's a nice shot... This point of view creates some suspense:
The the way she is positioned, what she is looking at...
Being pictured against the white cold-looking floor (table?) creates the 
contrast with how hot she looks. The extended black bellows just 
sprung into the action That's such a sexy camera!..


The lady is fine.
