Haylee ~ Senior 2013
I had my very first senior shoot last night and I'm completely stoked about how well it went.. 3 1/2 hours of shooting at 3 locations and it was such a blast. I really wanted to pull this one off and was very nervous at first, but it didn't take long to find a groove and in the end I'm really proud of the results. Helped a lot that Haylee was great in front of the camera, and her mom was great at keeping her laughing.
Fun fact about this shot: My fill light on the right was on a light stand in the water. I use VML Brackets (vmlbracket.com) to attach my Vagabond Mini Lithiums to my light stands. (Basically they securely add a Super Clamp to the VML - a huge improvement over the stock clip that is basically garbage) Normally I attach them to one of the legs (then the stand collapses without even taking off the battery), but to put it in the water I just bundled the cord and attached the battery right below the light, well above the water.
Strobist:
Main: Einstein E640 + 36" octabox w/ grid, left & above
Fill: Einstein E640 + 36" octabox right (-3 stops to main as metered by Cyber Commander)
Used Cyber Commander to meter/adjust, CyberSync to trigger.
