Well, despite the advice of others, I couldn’t bring myself to use the tungsten-setting photo…the skin tones were (surprise!) kind of blue, and that was more than a little odd. So I ended up cropping one of the black spot ones, and turned that in as a select. I’m not completely satisfied with the way it turned out; I could have done a
wayyyy better job of lighting Matt’s hair, and his face is a liiiiiittle too shadowed…I also think stopping up one or two would have made a huge difference, as I shot this at 1/45 of a second (sheesh…).
But anyway, I suppose you have to start somewhere when working in the studio, and I’m much less overwhelmed by all of the technical stuff that I was a week ago. We’ll see how it all turns out with Metal and Glass next assignment.
You should be shooting in daylight mode, not tungsten.
What was your lighting set-up?
This one actually was shot using daylight- it’s the first one (with the total white background) on the previous entry that had the (much, much) better exposure but was shot with tungsten. I went back and forth on whether exposure or natural-looking, non-bluish skin tones was more important… probably should have gone with exposure.
I will put the lighting setup up soon, after I go back and type the labels onto it
Yes, I would like to see your set-up and lighting ratios.
