Fun with Flare

February 24th, 2009|2 comments

It’s been a while since I’ve played around with my strobe lights.  Most of my work and experience has been with available light.  Nevertheless, I’ve been itching to try out a few things, especially flare lights, as seen here in this post.  The setup: bare bulb behind her, grid spot camera right, and ring flash.

Fortunately, my lovely wife was patient enough to sit for a few minutes and humor her husband.  You’ll see in the second pic her patience was starting to run out.  I like making her smile, so the following frame was worth it.  It was a blast!

I’ll be posting a series of lighting experiments over the coming weeks as I get back to the basics of studio lighting and learn a thing or two.  Hopefully, I’ll get some good shots in the process.  Of course, every shot with my wife is a winner, so as long as she helps, I’m destined for greatness!
