This first photo is your typical portrait style pose... Something you might expect from a senior photo shoot or the likes. I really liked this photo because I was able to catch a lot of detail on her face and the pom-pom in the front of the photo, but I had a small enough DOF to bokeh out the background and her feet. It ended up in a pretty nice effect.
The next one is Em being a little more aggressive with an airborne pose. Believe me, it took us several retakes of this one to get it framed and captured correctly, but it shows the versatility of the 2-light studio, as I caught the subject in motion, in the air and still exposed her properly and got the lighting prettymuch exactly where I wanted it to go.
The last photo today has nothing to do with lighting, other than this nice 9-shot pano of downtown Pittsburgh features plenty of natural night lighting. The shot looks impressive when viewed small like this, but if I blow it upto a normal size, you can tell that all of the shots were taken handheld on a windy night. That was last fall. Now that I have a good sturdy and tall tripod, I'd like to go back and try this shot again.... unfortunately, the weather hasn't been working with me.That's all for today. Spring break is next week (yay) and whether I end up in Florida visiting friends or I end up sticking around Pitt, I know that I'll have some time to go take photos, so expect more new material here in a week or so.
