Day 32 of an Undetermined Number
"Image 32"
When someone unwittingly walks into my photographer's garret, I must take advantage. I had things set up to try out my new collapsible ring flash, so when Alistair asked what it was......I thought I would show him. He was a sport. He is always dressed to the nines, so we had to shoot. There is a gridded strip bank at camera-left, and it is blocked further by two flags. I just wanted a very narrow strip of light to hit his face. The fill light is my new ring flash, and it is turned up just enough to throw some light on the camera-right side of his visage. You can see the highlights of both lights in the eyes. Lastly, there is a snooted speedlight, throwing just a dash of light on the grey background. The trick to the lighting set up was that my subject had an area of about a quart of an inch in which to move. Too much forward, and only his ear was lit. Too far back, and he was in shadow. While we captured several images of him laughing....I naturally went with this one. Thanks to the Scotsman for posing, and thanks to you all for stopping by!!
