Project Strobist 147/365 Alex
We had just gotten back from tennis, and I wanted to continue my exploration with the diffusion panel that I started in the beginning of the week, and the sun was just beginning to go behind the trees, so I grabbed my light poles and diffusion panel and stuck a slightly reluctant Alex there for a quick shot. And it was very quick. I had to crop because the rest of the background was yucky. I almost gave up and considered doing an indoor studio shot for today's shot, but I photoshopped, and lightroomed and used one of those presets (Creative B&W Low Contrast), and now I kinda like it.
Back to before I did all that editing. It looks like I still need to try a lot of stuff and take a lot of shots before I get something that I like.
Strobist info: Camera Nikon D70. Lens 85.o mm f/1.4. ISO 200. 1/250 sec at f/2.8. Available light only. Shot at 5:15 p.m. Alex is standing to the side of a DIY diffusion panel which is standing almost vertically. The sun is camera left. There was very little sun left by the time I got this off; it was disappearing fast behind the trees.
