I've started my journey through the lighting102 course, appropriately I thought, at assignment 1.1.
Meet Fred. Or Mr Polystyrene to you (for that is what the label said on the box when it arrived from the ebay seller to my front door). He's my new muse. Patient. Reliable. And no back chat.
This is the start of my Strobist Lighting102 journey and Fred will be traveling with me most of the way. Its much quicker working with him than doing self portraits and he has a pretty consistent reflective relationship with light which might help with comparisons later on. I've chosen for this assignment to keep things black and white at this stage because we aren't concerned with colour just the angle of the light. I like things simple me.
This image shows on camera flash of course.
Some information about the set up for this and the rest of the series on 1.1 Position - Angle:
- Canon 20D with 24-70mm f/2.8 lens set at 50mm focal length about 1m away from our subject. Hand held. Shutter speed of 1/200 to get close to max sync speed and an aperture of f11 to kill the ambient lighting. ISO 200
- Ambient lighting of single tungsten bulb. Correct exposure with no flash at ISO200 was 1/8 f/2.8
- Fred is about 0.7 metres in front of the wall behind
- Vivitar 285HV on Manfrotto Nano stand set at 1/16 power and consistently at 1m distance from our subject
- Cactus v2s trigger
