Daydreaming!




Doing nothing gets you nowhere, I need practise if i'm going to get anywhere.....so I decided to get out the lighting set-up and persuade my wife to pose for a shot. As I only really do casual studio stuff from home (and the fact i'm skint) meant that the Jessops vouchers I won from Photo Answers magazine last year bought me a set of Interfit Ez-Flo lights. Not the best by any stretch, but the soft continuous light means shooting at wide apertures is easy-peasy!!!

Continuous light at head level at around 8 o'clock, with a white reflector at around 4 o'clock. White balance set to Daylight and ISO400. Sigma 30mm, shot at f1.4 at 1/3200s.

Straight from camera...


After post-processing....slight crop, level adjust on the background to darken it a little, some softening and dodging and burning.....
