Here’s my self-portrait for the day. I’m feeling especially strong and good about myself after a fantastic lesson in tae kwon do.
Strobist: One Vivitar 285HV fired from directly above at 1/16 power. I tried to soften it by shooting it through a few layers of tracing paper. I really need to get a softbox and/or white umbrella, ya think? Sent through PS to black out the background.
The lighting is unbelievable with all the sculpted curves.
After seeing all your new photos, it made me realize I need to learn more about lighting!
I wholeheartedly suggest looking at strobist.com. Start with the welcome and lighting 101. There is a wealth of information on there. Even though David Hobby(the strobist himself) talks about off camera flash, it’s really good info for lighting in general.
Somehow i missed the point. Probably lost in translation
Anyway … nice blog to visit.
cheers, Britten.
Tae Kwon!
