this is a photo of my grandpa, on my mothers side. i'm playing with a new lighting set up, this was with an sb-800 on camera, and an sb-600 a couple feet to the left. there will eventually be a whole portfolio of portraits shot this way, i have changed the setup slightly to use a ringlight for fill, and an sb-800 off to the side.
what i've done is slightly underexposed the background (mid day, bright sky) by using a fast shutter speed, and overpowering the sun with the two flash units. http://www.daveblackphotogrpahy.com/ has some good instructionals on how to do that.
very fun shot of a very fun girl, sb-800 bouncing off a white wall to the side, and ringlight for fill. backdrop is just a waterbed with a red sheet, next time i would want to shoot this in a room with a higher cieling and a ladder so that i wouldn't have to use such a wide angle, and get the shot without distortion.
a machinist from work, shot with a softbox to the left and a bare strobe off in the back - alien bee's courtesy of daniel colvin, www.danielcolvinphotography.com check him out. myspace.com/danielcolvinphotography hopfully this shot will end up part of a very fun portfolio of people who work indoors and/or at night.
this is baldemero, photographed at beckendorf dairy tri-x pushed to 1600, 6x4.5 shot at f/4 or so, printed on oriental and toned by photographing it with the wrong white balance to post online (i don't have a scanner) ambient light only, a series of strip lights ran along the cieling and lit his face just enough.
shot late evening, a window behind the pov, and a lowel id-light off to the left, shot on film, 6x4.5 at 80mm f/2.8
hopefully there will be more soon!!!
