Pirouette
I shot this over the heads of the participants at the dance photography workshop yesterday using a rather unorthodox technique.
The lighting was set up for a standard white background shot. Two Bowens heads either side of the background at 45° and one bowens head camera left in a 80cm softbox triggered with RF-602. The heads were set to give f5.6 at 100 ISO.
I shot over the head of the photographer with the flash trigger. I could see roughly where he was taking his shot so I knew when the flash would fire. I set my exposure to 1s at f11 and shot early so as to get the flash roughly in the middle of the exposure.
Some of the shots showed more movement than other, depending on how fast Verity was pirouetting across the set and the amount of daylight hitting the backdrop.
This is a comp of four shots converted to B&W with a colour overlay.
