Same underground car park, different lighting setup. I tried my favorite setup again with an umbrella on each side. She's standing in front of a small concrete wall so I was able to align the flashes exactly with her body, the umbrellas partially sticking out behind the wall. Hence the nice and welcome, symmetrical lighting effect. I'm very pleased with the result.
Again some heavy post-processing regarding colors and contrast to get the intended cool look.
Strobist info: One LP120 at 1/4 power shot through a Westcott collapsible umbrella at 90° on Interfit stands from the left and right. Both were fired by Cactus V4 radio trigger.

Mucking around in our 'studio' if you can call a small photo dungeon (office) in the basement of the student center lacking windows, decent airflow or even a backdrop, just a good ol painted white wall. This is where most of the magic happens in terms of last minute/stock photos/photos using lights happens that get published in the paper :D
Courtney had dropped by before we were going to grab lunch (at 2:30 so sadly the Chinese food place on campus was closed by now and I wanted the usual tofu and pork) and she was wearing her new cardigan that I had picked up for her birthday (that was just a few days back) which I ordered from adidas slvr when they were having their crazy 50% off everything year end sale! I had a boom with an ab800 and white umbrella set up and asked if she wanted to take some pictures but she said make it quick and didn't want it to be complicated (because she hates how long it takes me to setup to take a photo, whether that be focusing with my leica/hassy or grabbing a flash and fixing the settings on my camera to take a decent photo...she just wants things done in one click no hassle ;) ) so I didn't have time to setup the backlights to blow out the background. I shot some standard fullbody portraits and then thought, why not try some hair whipping photos? and that lead me to lowering my shutter speed which let this cool ambient light and and voila! Cool motion blur/flash/colour pictures! Something a little different then what I shoot and I really like the results! We tried flipping from both sides and up and down as well, but found left to right worked the best due to her part and after controlling her expression from the :D everyone does from whipping their head side to side to a closed mouth, we were really happy with the look! I chose this one in particular because of the smooth lines from her hair and overall cleanness of the frame.
Been a super busy week between covering the just now completed student presidential elections and assignments along with planning the locations/shots/models/equipment for our annual Sex and the Steel City special issue which we will be shooting photos for this weekend! We had a small budget allotted so I was able to pick up some profoto heads, power pack, strip banks, soft boxes and a mola demi beauty dish to test out! I'm glad I've been acquainting myself with strobes so that we'll be able to make good use of them this year.
Time for much needed sleeps before a busy weekend of shooting and a Saturday midterm boooooooooooooooooo!
TGIF.

A bit of fun with strobes. Self-portrait. Strobe camera right on lightstand slightly higher than subject. Strobe behind, slightly left and way above subject. Pocketwizards.
I'm a bit behind today, so I'm posting and running. I'll catch up with everyone tomorrow. Thanks!
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.

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.

Say hello again to Marion. These pictures were taken during a spontaneous photo session next to our pool. Her tan was imported directly from the sunny beaches of Italy. She returned from her family vacation the prior day. Played around with the colors a bit, some skin retouching in Photoshop... et voilà!
Strobist info: The whole nine yards. My Nissin Di866 at full power shot into a Westcott umbrella from very high left. One bare LumoPro LP120 from the back left at 1/2 power for rim and water reflection. Another bare LP120 at 1/4 power to the front right for fill. All fired by Cactus V4 radio triggers.

I know it's already a bit late, but MERRY CHRISTMAS FLICKR FRIENDS & CONTACTS!!!! ♥ ♥
I'm so sorry I haven't uploading anymore! But I have something in-store for you this coming 2012! Cross your fingers with me, so that it might finally happen! Hah. It's not that big to most of you guys, but for me, it'd be a dream come true if it happened. So, I really hope it'd push through. :)
Anyway, posting more photos before the year ends. :)
♥ ♥ I'm glad, 2011 has been nice to me. :)
My strobe controller project finally got soldered up in a nice project case. In short, it's a programmable strobe controller for high-speed photography. You can load it with simple scripts to (usually) wait for a certain input condition, and then switch the outputs with very precise timing.
One particularly elaborate example: Have it trigger an electronic water valve for a few milliseconds, just long enough to let one drop of water through. Wait until it sees a drop fall through a photogate, and then open the shutter on the camera. Wait until the contact mic under a bowl is triggered by the drop impacting on the bowl, fire the flash, wait a few milliseconds, and then close the shutter on the camera. Perfect water drop pictures every time.
I bought a Koala protoboard, a matching case, and a compatible LiPoly battery from Sparkfun, plus a whole bunch of 3.5mm headphone jacks and some other odds and ends from JB Saunders, and soldered it up last weekend.
The board is pretty cool- it comes with USB-serial (an FTDI FT232R, regulated 3.3V and 5V from battery or USB, and battery charging from USB. The battery is tucked under the board.
Everything is wired into a TI EZ430-RF2500 target board (I really only wanted the MSP430-F2274 micro on it; the wireless is going to waste at the moment). It communicates with a desktop app I've written in C#, where you can see and control its status in real-time, write scripts, and send them to the device. I've created a simple little scripting language (and corresponding bytecode language) so the device can do interesting and precisely-timed things with its outputs (the five jacks on bottom) in reaction to stuff happening on its inputs (the button and the two other jacks). It needs some polish still, but it really works quite well.
I'll do a proper writeup on my website when I'm closer to being truly done.
Created this shot as a part to lighting tutorial for "Lite It" magazine.
The article should be in the upcoming issues.

God Bless and happy Tuesday to all my flickr friends :)
This was pure guesswork. I'm on a continuing quest to eliminate the orange cast from shots using artificial light, thought it'd be worth a go to use Calethia's strobe light, see what happened.
Seeming simple enough, of course it took twice as long as we'd expected, with both of us blind from firing off the strobe dozens of times to get the shot framed right, timed right. For awhile all we could see were afterimages of each other, and we stumbled around the room trying to shake it off.
But it worked! Yeah gods, it worked. So if anybody's got a huge studio light they'd like to part with, feel more than free to drop me a line.
BRIGHT LIGHT! BRIGHT LIGHT!
