I had some work down in Salem County, New Jersey(lot of soybean plants). I can't believe this is the same state I live in, from the Bergen County burbs...to the lakes and woods of western NJ....to the Jersey shore...this is a great state if you have ADD !!
Strobist - SB900 with shoot-thru umbrella camera right just to fill in some shadows and my shadow.
strobist info - SB28 and SB26 bounced off the ceiling...SB600 with lumiquest III softbox pointed at cup and SB900 pointed at back of closest chair. with netflix envelope on top to prevent spill.
I've tried to shoot my dining room before and it just doesn't work as a whole room, sometimes half the room shows enough to get the point across. I also have a bag of 8-watt bulbs that work great for interiors since you can use a slow shutter without blowing out the lights...but I couldn't find them so I shot it at 1/100 which was ok since it was bright out and the light was pouring in anyway.
I worked with Sarah Jensen (Mayhem #1021568) again, she's a lot of fun to work with.
Strobist - Main light was the sun, camera right, and I used the Orbits ringlight and my SB900 for fill. I think I should have accentuated the sun with a strobe and unbrella for more dramatic lighting....maybe next time.
My niece Gabrielle helped me practice some lighting.
Strobist Info - SB900 with shoot thru umbrella high and camera right....SB600 with STU camera left and behind (it was suppose to be the rim-light, but she turned around.)....sun as a hair light above and camera left. I exposed for the sky and underexposed half a stop to darken the background so my niece would pop out.
Great model Lee Loo La (Mayhem #814736)
Strobist - Orbitz ringlight with an SB900 flash in an elevator.
I almost forgot about this...a quick food shot to get it in for Strobist 2nd Assignment.
Nikon D300 with 50mm 1.8 lens set to 1/200 at F2. SB900 with Lumiquest III small softbox behind and above subject. I pointed it more towards the camera to get the falloff in the background. I also use a boom cymbal stand with a swivel holder as a poor man's c-stand with an SB600 and Orbits Ringflash on axis for fill. Finally, a little tinfoil on the table in front for more fill and umph (technical term).
