My wife wouldn't volunteer tonight, some nonsense about working late and having to get up early.
Fortunately, I got hot little redhead to sit for me; Hope this doesn't belong down in nudes!
This was taken with two striplights, one pointed at her with a plastic diffuser sheet in front of her and the other pointed back at the backing material. I didn't have a plain sheet handy, so it looks like I'm hitting clearance at K-Mart tomorrow for sheets to drape. I'm also having a dickens of time with my manual 50mm flipping between completely overexposed and dark. This one was taken with the flash bounced off the wall/ceiling corner to camera right, zoomed in with my 200mm because I was getting so frustrated with the over exposure with the manual lens and I just couldn't get the bokeh I wanted with the kit lens. How do you get the aperture big enough to get the background you want without blowing out the picture entirely? There's clearly something I'm not putting together that would make this make sense!
I played around for a couple hours with my remote using myself as my
victimmodel and think I have the lighting right, even if I couldn't get the focus right on myself.
PS I get the nagging feeling people are going to think your model is prettier than mine.
