Foothill Foyer to LR
This is probably the hardest lighting situation I've run into, luckily I've done it before and miserably at that. Each time I learn to handle the light better and better. The difficult part is the light placement in the room beyond the columns. They are both at the same power, WAD, pointed into the room at the same angle to cancel out shadows as much as possible. However there is not way to completely eliminate them so it still looks "lit" to me. I tried an Exposure Blend on this one as well and it came out like baby poop, as you could imagine. Lighitng is:
6 SB 800's
On camera, Full diffusion pointed up to decrease the spill from the LR, 1/2 power.
2 in LR as expained above, 1/8th power each.
One CR far down the hallway, WAD, 1/4 power
2 CL in the hallway, one for the doors and one for the further hallway, WAD.
