Golden Hour.

When this blog was started it was as an incentive to complete and report upon the assignments in the Strobist "Lighting 101" course. There is still an intention to keep a high proportion of lit images in the blog so I'll kick off again with this one.



The idea here was to recreate golden hour type light without any such light present. There is an SB800 with 1/2 CTO gel at 45 degrees camera right through a translucent umbrella. To add a bit of light to the hair I placed an SB26 with 1/4 CTO gel at subject left. The power on the SB800 was double that on the SB26 (1/8th and 1/16th). the camera settings were 1/200th second, F/5.6, ISO200m Nikon 18-200mm VR at 80mm.
