Slave Flash Pentax
| Powered by phpBay Pro |
Set up suggestions for prom dance fotos, using equipment i have.?
What i have are 2 - 500 watt hot lights with 12" aluminum reflectors ( ceramic sockets),
I shoot thru umbrella and light (day) , 1 slave flash unit ( that can go on one light stand ) ,
also a 'puffer' for the pop up flash on a Pentax K200D using 18-250 Pentax lens.
Have been asked to do prom couples shots in a pinch and just curious on some pointers ... :/
BG to be simple , dark green or black. Kind of looking for a lighting diagram I guess ...
Do you want to light the background? If not try to keep spill off it by using black foamcore or similar as flags. How much room have you got? You'll want the prom guests well in front of the b/g and have the light source close to them to get the light falloff not hitting the b/g.
I'm guessing for prom photos you're going to want a pretty standard portrait lighting setup with ratios in the region of 2:1 or even 1:1.
I'd place one of the hotlights with the umbrella (what size is it - you want 32" minimum, 43" or larger is better) to illuminate one side as key and use the other hotlight as fill, dialled down with a diffuser if there's no power control. You want it either a the same or 1 stop lower than the key. Can you get hold of another light modifier for the fill light? Only if its reflector, you may end up with harsher shadows from that light.
Alternatively, go for a one light setup & use a reflector for fill.
