This is my favorite shot of the day. Which is probably why I spent so much time working on it in post.
Strobist Info:
Exposed to kill ambient
Yongnuo YN460-II, bare, camera left 45 degrees behind subject chest high, ~'5 feet from subject. 4/7 power. triggered by Yongnuo 602
Yongnuo YN460-II, bare, camera right 45 degrees behind subject waist high, ~'5 feet from subject. 4/7 power. S1 Slave Mode.
Fill - White foam core board ~45 degrees camera right. (I wish it had given me more fill, but I really should have just exposed a little higher.)
Post-Pro Info:
In Lightroom created two virtual copies of +1 and +2 stops exposed. Imported them into Photoshop CS6 as layers. used the +2 layer for the rim lighting, used the original layer for the background, and used the +1 layer for the rest of the shadowed part of model's body. Brought this back into Lightroom and bumped clarity to 80+ to really bring out the background and highlights.
The slight darkening on the left is again the shutter coming into frame, which should not happen at the shutter speed i was using (max sync on this camera should be 1/200), but i think it works well in this case. I guess my shutter speed is a little off of what it claims.
