a fun, creative portrait of siblings inside a barn in Marengo, Illinois using a single source off camera flash...i was hoping that my website would be up and running by now but still is undergoing more tweaking...but it should be totally ready at the beginning of the coming new year...stay well friends...
At least I hope that is the case... I sure do LOVE my coffee in the morning :)
Today I took some coffee beans from the office (don't tell my boss!), and decided to experiment a little bit, with the lighting and also with the composition in this kind of shots.
Strobist:
Actually this was a very simple setup. I used two Elinchrom BX500Ri but only modeling lamps (not strobing). Each light was on the left and right side of the table/setup, inside a large strip softbox. Camera was on tripod and shutter speed was quite long, for this shot 1/3sec.
Behind the scene setup and more photos from the shoot can be find here: t.co/nQAiCykNdP
Just a snapshot outside with my wife and a softbox... ;-)
I used a 60cm softbox cam right with a 580EXII in ETTL mode. Triggered with YN-622C.
Make an easy to build portable softbox
- cut a backing frame from a 1/2 gallon plastic milk jug
- shape the plastic to fit the rear of your flash, like a bounce card, narrow at the bottom and more flared out at the top
- line the front of the plastic with a reflective material. I used the shiny mylar material from a package of Nabisco oatmeal cookies. I attached the mylar using double-sided tape.
- tape down the edges of the mylar to the plastic using gaffers tape
- Attach the reflector to flash using rubber bands
- make a "flip down" diffuser using simple tissue paper or other diffusing material
The flash and portable softbox can be used on-camera or off-camera, One Light Strobist style.
See the test shot here.

this is taken w/ a 50mm 1.4. the apollo softbox has a 580EXII in it triggered with Pocket Wizard TT1.
it was taken in the dining room with a distracting background so I used the pocket wizards hypersync capability to black it out. (1/400th)
It was much easier than setting up a backdrop
also I recently purchased the OnOne suite so this was also the test run for that.
Make your own cheap IKEA softbox (9 1/2" diameter)
- set of round white nylon IKEA NÖJE storage baskets (3 for $4.99)
- Adapter for Nikon S28 flash, cardboard, ethafoam spacers, hot glue gun, 10 minutes.
- Nikon SB28 flash, $50 via Craig's List

Bought some old shoes today at the salvation army, thrifting has become one of my favorite things to do. I've always loved old things, used things, and especially antiques. I just love items that can tell a story, and wearing clothing that has already been worn and is super old and pulling it off is certainly some sort of fashion statement. No these are not Cole Haan shoes, though I do own some and they are extremely nice! I just wanted to do a mock advertisement, just to keep myself fresh.

Canon 7d, Canon 50mm 1.8, softbox overhead, reflector to fill shadows and two snooted flashes for hair light. Shot on white seamless.
Fuji Reala 500D.
Contax 139 Film Camera.
Strobist, used a home made soft box at camera left connected to the camera with a synch cable and a reflector.
The Film did record the colour of the figure as accurate.
I lit this with a YN560 in a 24 inch softbox, camera left and above, at 11 o'clock. For fill light, I hand held a small mirror, camera right at 5 o'clock to bounce a little light back onto the darker side. The flash, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. I used side lighting because I wanted to create the shadows that reveal texture and shapes.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash, and the equipment that I use. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/
Lighting: Speedlight front right into white umbrella @ F16; speedlight back left in small softbox @ F11
First time that I fotograph in a studio with my best friend as model.
I could use the studio of my nephew and he teached me how to make a setup.
He thought I had to learn first a onelamp setup.
So, during this shoot I wanted to practice lighting in different situations within the studio setting. The yoga poses were perfect for it as it made me get down low with the lights. It was a challenge figuring out how to light a subject folded up on the floor, but I think this came out pretty nice. I ended up laying my softbox over directly on the floor just right of camera and adjusting my slave speedlight to its lowest position on the stand and aimed it down camera left for just a little bit of fill. What made it easy for me was that my model (a friend of mine) just ran through her poses so I didn't have to think up much of anything. My focus could remain on the lighting. Posing seems a bit daunting at this stage in my journey. Knowing how to pose people is a huge part of the shoot...and, one I have little experience in. But, it's the most fun I've ever had learning. Enjoy!

A cheap Ebay softbox 60cm x 60cm with a homemade adaptor to enable me to use one or two speedlights, also packs up nice and small for transportation.
Shown with two speedlights, held together with a good old ball bungee. I haven't worked out if they will get too hot being held like this but have designed it so I can seperate them a little (probably with a some heat resisitant material in between) and still fit through the softbox opening.

There you can see how our "softbox" homemade. The heads that you see are ourselves looking through the window.
mom used to work as a nanny to three little girls. These shoes are the first pointing shoes for the eldest of the three. mom wanted to give a memento to her so she enlisted my help. These two photos are some of the result.
The DIY softbox is doing a great job. My wife thought it was a bit hokey when I built it, but now thinks it's pretty frickin' cool. I'm liking it too.
