Light Bulb: Take II

Filed under: Photography - Administrator @ 1:18 pm

 Home Depot had 25 Watt clear vanity bulbs on clearance, so I had to grab one to photograph.  All the wiring was done as before, although this time I have the bulb plugged into a dimmer switch so that I can balance the output of the bulb relative to my flash.  I’m still debating where to go with this idea…maybe the CFL bulb I used before would make more sense with the bamboo?  Anyway, color temperature was an issue with the incandescent bulb.  Notice the ring of light from the flash on the right of the vase is blue-white, whereas the bulb output is much warmer.  Blah.  If only I could have my office hours in a studio…

 

Engagement: Ryan and Heather

Filed under: Photography - Administrator @ 12:28 pm

 I took some engagement photos of Ryan and Heather on Sunday.  I experimented some more with The Robot and think I am finally getting quicker at dialing down the settings that give me the desired lighting effect.  My Alien Bee battery pack will be finished tonight, so I’m sure that I will have to add that to the rig on my next shoot…more on that later this week.  All of the indoor photos are lit exclusively with my new Alien Bee.  I’m pretty happy with the results, but as always, your opinions and suggestions are welcomed.  My favorites below:

 

 

 The kitties weren’t too sure about the bright lights…
