Pre production notes

  1. Slight usage of
    1. daylight on side of face.
    2. Tungsten on statue
    3. Daylight on tree
  2. Lens 17-70mm 2.8-4 at 70mm to give a bit of a boukeh and compression
  3. F4 for biggest aperture to focus on the subject
  4. 1/160 to let some available light in but no motion blur –if more light needed can be reduced to 1/80
  5. I think so
  6. Yes
  7. No
  8. Have to make sure no branches stick out of the head from tree behind
  9. Will bring a graycard
  10.

Nikon D7000, Sigma 17-70 2.8-4 Os







1.       The natural  lighting worked pretty good.

2.       The lens  gave me problems in terms of focus. I ended up moving in closer and shooting at about 50mm because of the way the background fit in the composition

3.       F 3.8 isolated the subject pretty good but since the lens was shitty made the portrait slightly out of focus but decided to go with it anyway

4.       Shot at 1/60 to let in more ambient light

5.       The lighting was achieved successfully

6.        I switched the background light to the other side for better results

7.       ?

8.       Had to remove a small fixture on the wall in postproduction but managed to conceal the  strobe wires behind the subject which saved time in post production J

9.       Forgot the graycard...

10.   -Out of softboxes. Used a diffusion frame? In front of an umbrella (reflector side) for main light

-One of the receivers was busted and had to borrow of another student. Next time will bring extra

-barely had enough wire to plug into wall. Next time bring more extension cords
