1 Ambient Only

Strobist - Lighting 102: 4.3 -- Assignment: Cross, Balance and Sculpt.

 

Enjoyed the assignment and the though process involved in getting the final picture. I uploaded 3 pictures showing the 3 steps in my thought process, but I took many more at each step to optimize the position of the light I was adding to the ambient.

 

1. Ambient light provided by two headboard lamps and a small window to the right.

2. Added a flash bounced in the ceiling bounce to provide fill. It is placed on a stand next to me pointing at the ceiling. That placement gave me uniform light over the opposite wall. Aperture and Speed set to balance ambient and fill.

3. Added a 3rd light to the right at the edge of the bed, low and zoomed at 105mm to reveal some details in the brown bedding. Used a gobo to prevent the light from that flash to spill on the wall and produce shadows of the pillows.
