had a bit of ‘fun’ trying to mimic off camera lighting as much as possible-
my ‘makeshift’ umbrella; aka. the flash pointed at a piece of paper on an easel
i also tried to use the side wall/blinds as an umbrella/reflector/what-not and my on-camera as a fill by foofing that off the ceiling/wall/corners to try to hide the ‘on-camera’ flash look as much as possible.
it was pretty uncomfortable using strobes; if anyone comments; when you shoot with strobes- do you do shoots with most of the room lights off? my mentality was to do that, so that the only light’s i’d have in the image were my strobes (to try to control the direction of light as much as possible).
does that make sense? or should i just keep my lights on. lol
i didn’t have a way to remotely trigger my flash either so i had to keep one of my strobes on-camera
equip for this shoot:
Canon 5D
50mm f/1.4
Canon 430EX (off-camera)
Canon 580EX (on-camera)
blow-dryer for ‘wind effect’ [which didn't work out at all. lol]
