Old masters lighting - February 2011

[Richard]

Here's mine, Since natural light didn't want to play I went all artificial. Also it turns out we've drunk our house dry, so I turned water in to wine with some red and black food colouring.

Cool shots so far, everyone. Richard, I have to ask. What software are you using to show your lighting designs?

I use coreldraw for my lighting diagrams, I've built up a library of basic components, so its relatively quick now to drag things to where I want them.

Something possessed me after reading this assignment to take Laura's hand-painted Royal Winnipeg Ballet store doll and take her picture. I used one desk lamp light covered with translucent paper and found objects pink and small. These are f9 for .8 and 1.0 secs. In post I used a levels adjustment layer with soft light blending mode. I like the muted lighting and colors, the face details and the shadow play on the dress.
Model was a perfect doll. Photographer, not so much.
