How-To Lighting

My friend Gavin Holt introduced me to the LA Strobist event, which is going to be hosted again next week at the Whittier Narrows Park (Los Angeles). Inspired by Gavin's pictures, we decided to have a quick lighting session of our own. Check out these pictures!

This is Doug jumping from an elevated platform:


This is me trying to look creepy because of the encroaching branches:


These images were produced using an AlienBee 800 watt strobe at full power bounced from a reflective umbrella. It was placed about 4 feet from the subject and shot at ISO 100, 1/250 and f/20.0. These settings are relative to the sun's intensity. This session was totally fun (even though setting up was not). I highly encourage everyone to attend the LA Strobist event! It will be our first time :)

Hope to see you there,

Lawrence
