A few more of Big Boy

jeffreaux2

I have tried to put together a diagram of the lighting situation used in This Post since so many commented on it....plus a few taken in a rocker with mom.














The photos taken on the bed/ blanket are in red. I moved camera angle a lot here, and also moved the flash with me to accentuate where I wanted.

The photos taken on the floor are in purple.

The set-up for the photos seated with mom... in pink.


I used a 580EX with a Lightsphere cloud on all. I shot in manual at ISO800 and dialed the FEC way back to just lift the shadows a bit....except on the ones where I used the flash to accentuate. The curtains were pulled back on the french doors and all other windows.

Ha...and I though the diagram was too busy, with no obvious subject, uncoordinating colors drawing the eyes averywhere.

Hope it helps someone....anyone!

Thank you Elaine. It was all really very simple. Although I shot them in manual mode, I used the STE2 and ETTL mode on the flash....and plenty of FEC to try to keep the natural look to the lighting. Piece of cake!
