    Getting Nearer

    Sherry it was about 16:00 it was getting dark, which it a way was good because the sky was too bright so I didn't need too much flash to maintain the exposure balance

    This is wonderful, I love how the winding road takes my eye round the coast. I think the two people add scale but would like to see what its like with them not there also..

    Thanks Fred,

     

    I can say the following that might give you some insight into why this shot has a different connection than the new ones I have posted.

    1. This was toward the end of a session with the lady and we had spent quite a bit of time together during the day so obviously had a much stronger connection than I had with these other people.

    2. I prefer working on location to working in a static sterile studio. I really don't feel any connection between myself and a studio setup and if I did it would gravitate towards the mush less commercial low-key and strong light and shadow work.

    3. The shots I took the other night, I only took about 6 - 10 shots of each person. So the amount of time to get a shot that stood out was quite small.

     

    I think my ratio the other night was the wrong choice. It was the first time I tried high key. I think all the lights were in the right place. I had never worked with more than 2 lights before, there were 4 here and that aspect I am happy with. My ratio the other night was almost 1:1 with only .5 stop difference between the two lights with the less powered light a little lower than the other one to help fill the shadows.

    I think a full stop difference might be better and give a more moulded look.

     

    My main issue with studio is there is nothing for the subject to do or look at. Its just sterile and my mind does not like to work in a sterile environment like that.
