well, after the guy i bought my stuff from, finally sent me the right thing (white shoot through wth black silver lined cover)
i created this portrait of my lovley wife.
Shutterspeed: 0.05 sec (1/20)
Aperture: f/4.5 (thats wide open for this hunka-junka-matic)
Focal Length: 38 mm
ISO Speed: 400
Exposure Program: Manual
flash at 1/16th power fired into umbrella almost directly above her. . stand pole was just to the left of the frame
(Go impromptu beauty dish!)
white reflector under her chin... just out of the frame ald by my left hand
i have couple questions,
is the neck and chest a tad dark?? i think it is for my liking.. but i dont know about lightening it as it would detract from the face.
does it make the tan line more pronounced?
is it annoying enough to warrant fixing?
i had a reflector just out of frame under her chin, so i think that helped... but not enough obviously
for the strobist/model experts out there.. does that exif make sense?
i'm 95% sure i'm not working the flash too hard..
any other things a young strobist should consider?
thanks
