[QUOTE="RockyNH_RIP, post: 121669, member: 10784"] Ok, here are a few more samples from today, lighting positions as suggested by Scott (STM) (Thank you!) Again, still no hair light... 1st ones are the 2 lights through umbrella's as 45 degree left and right and angled down at about 30 deg These are much more softer (flattering) lighting as Scott suggested. [ATTACH=CONFIG]29050._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]29051._xfImport[/ATTACH] I had 2 issues with this set. (see Below) One was dble catchlights as Scott mentioned and the other was depending on head position, a large umbrella reflection (see right eye) 2nd Catch light was edited out above. [ATTACH=CONFIG]29049._xfImport[/ATTACH] This last was what Scott referred to as Butterfly Lighting, a single light/umbrella directly in front and above model. I did not have a good method (or time) to experiment with a reflector in front under the chin to reduce shadows but I was really trying to see the lighting affects compared to yesterday.. This was a more 3d effect than the 1st set (and I liked it) while the 1st was definately flatter and also more flattering to my wife. [ATTACH=CONFIG]29052._xfImport[/ATTACH] Both affects were improvements on yesterday... so I am pleased so far. Several more suggestions are out there from others and I will play with them the next shoot... My wife has gone shopping, not sure she coming home before I go to work!!!! ;) Pat in NH [/QUOTE]
