Two more from Small Strobes, Big Results

ByDerek

Here’s two more shots from Small Strobes, Big Results Buffalo. What’s really cool about these is the complete difference between the actual scene and the shot created with artificial light.

Here’s a great example.

Reality:
Union News setup

But here’s the shot we created:
Union News
This was an “artificial sun” shot, tungsten balanced strobe so the ambient background light turns bluish.

Here’s just another cool shot:
Door-Setup

Door
(White shoot-through umbrella, reflector)

I have one more shot that I think needs some work before I post it.

(See part 1 if you missed it)

How pathetic it was to hear Congressman Higgins whining about FEMA like Ray Nagin. I mean, come on. The last thing we want to do is compare our little snowstorm to friggin’ Hurricane Katrina.

While the former was entirely positive, the latter was a…

It’s been a couple weeks since I’ve been able to crank one of these out. Either I or my laptop has been unavailable. The laptop is now sporting a brand new SSD drive, though, so it was worth the interruption in content, at least to me. So, kicking things off this week, an in-depth article…

  1. Wasn’t it amazing? I can’t wait to go out and play with a lot of that he taught us. I didn’t even think about it, but I’m so jealous that you got to see his setups in a place you regularly shoot! That’s awesome!!
