My first attempt at a highkey portrait.
Very hard to deal with all the stray light bouncing everywhere.

More Germany photos as promised. This is from inside the new Mercedes museum. It's the first high key image I've posted and I think it's a nice change of pace from the other Germany/architecture photos I've posted and of course from the last more colorful photo I posted.
one set of Salt and pepper shakers from my collection. Picture was taken laying on the ground to give the shakers the appearance they were bigger than they really are. shot around sunset.
okay, I know this is not Hi Key. the grandparents asked for some high key shots to match some other family photos they have. So I independently lit the background to make it super white, epic win. and put the key light in the front of some kiddie chairs and asked the boys to sit. They of course did not. Firstly they moved the chairs to against the wall, and being blondes their hair immediately picked up the back light and proceeded to make their head disappear. so I turned off the back light, and they continued to move chairs around.
Check out the other epic fails below.
Epic High Key fail.
ODC Trend, high key with white background is very trendy (well it does look fab darling).
sorry about all the kiddie shots lately.

A study in high-key lighting.
There were 4 lights on this. Two unmodified Alien Bees B800 at about 45-degrees left and right, high, at maybe 6-ft and ½-power. Then there was a Vivitar 285HV on a tripod, low and underneath the camera, about 3-ft away at ¼-power and wide-angle. Then I also had a Canon 580EX on a short tripod just behind the model at full-power pointed at the white cloth backdrop using the built-in 14mm wide-dispersion panel. The Canon was triggered by a Cactus-V4 radio trigger (another new toy), the Vivitar was fired with a physical sync-cord attached to the camera and the AB were going off using their built-in optical sensor (I have yet to see that fail).
After some cropping and minor spot cleanup, I converted to B&W in PS-CS3 using “normal”. I then brought the TIF back into Lightroom and did split-toning, applying a little yellow cast to the highlights and a little brick-red to the shadows. This is what gives the end result that slight brownish cast. I think that this dual-color split-toning is more subtle and interesting than using a simple “colorize” function.
