BI-WEEKLY LIGHTING THEME: Graduated Specular Highlights

[mike_lepp1]

Just because I wanted to contribute to let Brooks and Garry know that people are trying the techniques they suggest, I 'm posting this shot. I just got in from the gym, setup my scrim and a strobe with a shovel mounted on it, put it in front of the window and took this shot of me. I'm between the scrim and window. This was done in less time than it took for me to make dinner.

 

It leaves lots to be desired! For instance, I could have tightened the cover over the scrim and cleaned the cob webs on the bars. Still, I see plenty of potential to use this technique. Even this same basic shot. Maybe without the bars and someone else in it. A PC lens may work well here.

 

Thanks Brooks, Mike

 

PS: The skiing was great!<div></div>
