Middle Bit!
ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING! lot’s of “strobist” talk!
Rhinda Larsen asked us on our Facebook page: “I have Elinchrom 500/500 bxri to go kits so 2x 66cm soft boxes, i also have a 120 x 80 soft box and a small Elinchrom reflector with grid – can you give me some interesting setups using 2 lights? I also have a 5 in 1 reflector kit and a black and white popup background. I really want to shoot more low key images & talk about small strobes and location lighting”
whew!
We look at High Key and Low Key photography.
recommended educators about off camera lighting:
Zack Arias & the one light workshop
David Hobby – the strobist
Joe McNally the off camera lighting master
make mistakes
the evolution of working with flash: 1} on camera straight ahead. 2} bounce that light- point it into a wall etc. 3} get the flash off the camera – you will need….
triggers:
the bottom of the line: the povo wizards,
the top of the line: the pocket wizard, {corey’s favourites that he uses}
the cyber sync from Paul C Buff {DJ’s favourites}
some general tips on lighting & using an artificial light source:
1} the broader the source = softer
2} the closer = softer
3} diffusion of the light makes it broader = softer
4} bouncing a light = diffusion
5} the inverse square = a light twice as far from your subject, you end up with only one-quarter of the light on the subject. read more about that here and here.
6] shadows = volume or gives the object three dimensions or depth
