Hacking the Matrix
The Matrix is still one of my favourite films. In the downtime over Christmas and New Year I was inspired to shoot this strobist selfie because my brother had so many old computer monitors lying around. I was travelling light with just one speedlight, a set of wireless triggers, but no filters or other light modifiers and so had to improvise.
Strobist info:
The key light was a Nikon SB28 at 1/64th power placed on the desk behind the laptop and the main screen, pointing up at the subject. An offcut from a green/blue plastic bag was used to provide the greenish tinge and the lenshood of my 24-70mm lens was used as a snoot to limit the spill. The computer screens actually provided very little light. Triggered wirelessly using a Yongnuo YN-622N trigger
