Day 11 – Steve the Skull visits The Old Man for a cigar and some rum.

I know, I skipped day 10 and day 11 is a bit after midnight.   I’m planning two sets tomorrow to make up for it.

I shot this on tripod with the following settings:

10.0 sec @ f/16, 35mm, ISO 100, tripod mount, rear curtain to minize the effects of slight vibrations of hitting the trigger.  (I’ve lost my wireless trigger).

The left strobe behind a snoot was at 1/2 power with an orange filter to keep from casting to blue a light into the scene.

The right strobe was at 1/16 and an umbrella to give a smooth, even, very very subtle fill light to the scene.

I’ve included a shot without the strobes so you can see how they really light up the scene without overpowering it.

I also have a shot showing the setup for those interested.

Day 11 - no strobes.

Day 9 – Lightbox test

A simple one tonight.  I received a tabletop lightbox from my mother-in-law for Christmas 2011.  I haven’t done much with it since very few of my models will fit in an 18x18x18 inch cube.     I’ve included a shot of the setup so you can see how I did it.  This one is very simple, but for doing product shots, it’s a nice setup.

Day 9 - 1/9/2013 - Lightbox test.
