Something (Cover) Setup Shot

I wanted the light to come from both sides for this photo so I placed them forward camera left and right. Lighting ratio was based on the proximity I would be to each light and the overall effect I wanted.

 

The left light was aimed towards the camera a bit to feather enough light on the neck of the bass. The right light was aimed squarely at my back to give nice outline.

 

Strobist info: 430EX 1/32 power softbox camera right | 550EX 1/8 power softbox camera left | Triggered by 580EX on camera

Camera info: Canon EOS 1D Mark III | Canon EF 16-35mm ƒ/2.8 L II USM | 1/300 ƒ/8 ISO400
