Strobing, Day 2
out for a stroll tonight with whicsy & the off camera flash, through a DIY softbox, mounted on the old crappy tripod & triggered by a home made pc sync cord.
whicsy said it was harsh. i guess it's time to start getting real gear.
i'm assuming that these would be typical light levels for night time portraits. at this level i was kinda stressing the limits of comfortable settings: 1/45sec, f/1.4, ISO-800. Seems like dustin does similar settings, but compensates for a slower aperature with better higher iso performance. I guess this pretty much, hopefully once & for all, rules out the 135 STF at night.
take a look at his shots of me: www.flickr.com/photos/shummy
thanks for the fav Dusty.
time for some gels. maybe a start of a 365 strobe & bokeh series?
Look here and here for a shot of the source of colourful bokeh.
