Just starting my home studio.

Picked up a decent setup for a basic home studio.
Plan is for my son and I to learn portrait and pet photography.
Below is a set up video and my progress thus far.



Here was my first attempts at self portrait and my dog.

I revisited Luna again today since her first shot was a little dark.

Nice set up and I like the resulting shots.

I had a chuckle at the soundtrack to the video

Thank you.
The musician is here.

Now that is stuck in my head for the day . My son is of an age that I always associate the song with the movie Madagascar. (not this version though)

I intend to shoot player profile shots for our Airsoft team and decided I'd mess around with some gels as well.
Lighting setup on this one is one soft box on a boom above camera right at 45deg about 3' 1/2 power
One at head level 4' 45 deg camera left 1/8 power
One waist hight camera left 4' 20deg 1/64 power. This one was just to light the rifle as it was coming out with no detail.
one light 1/2 power behind me with a red gel
Camera settings were 1/200 F8 ISO 100

Oh ya there is a smiley face in this photo.....can you find it?

Nice set up. I wish I had the space at home to set something like that up.

And yes, I do see the smiley face! o:

Thank you.
Luckily I have a decent size room in the basement where I can get back up to 20' from the subject but it's not really required. I have seen one about the size of a very small bedroom.

As for the smiley face, most that see it aren't smiling. lol
