Lights will guide you home
July 29, 2009In an attempt to practice lighting with strobes, I made a simple setup and just trial-and-errored until I got some nice shots. I should’ve taken a shot of the setup…maybe I’ll do that tomorrow.
Let me try to remember what I did…
- Nikon D90, 18-200 @75, f8, 1/200s, ISO100- 1 SB-800 behind and under the white cloth (i can’t remember what it was set to)…triggered by SB-800 #2 on camera (pointed towards ceiling as you can see in the reflection on the top of the round perfume bottle)

- Nikon D90, 50mm, f9, 1/200s, ISO100
- SB-800 pointing up in a box with a clear side…i’m guessing 1/16 power? triggered by on-camera SB-800 pointing behind me
- blue gel effect created by a blue plastic box lid
I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of a sunset.
