I positioned my nephews on the sofa, facing the windows (blinds shut) with the flash to their right reflected off the umbrella. The silver reflector was positioned on their left to bounce light back on their left side. The flash was attached to the camera via a PC sync cable.
The hardest part of this shoot was trying to get them to focus on me and not the iPod games they were playing. as you can see I am not as interesting as killing monsters so I too the shots as best as I could.
The things I learnt most from this shoot was how difficult it is to keep children's focus during a photo shoot and how much brighter a flash with a GN of 48 is compared to my other flashes. When I have a easier to model to work with I will explore fully how to use the power of the flash more effectively as I don't feel the results show the flashes full potential.

Hi
ReplyDeleteI like your style of free writing and inclusion of kit and resources, this small piece of written work shows that you can start to tick off criteria 1.1

The lighting you have achieved is both subtle and suits the subject matter.
ReplyDeleteGreat family shots and technical practise which will under pin all of your work.
Meets all the criteria as labelled.
