strobist self

Way back on Day 81 I entered the strobist world, and since then I’ve found it a challenge to drag them out … but now, with a little more space, I’ve had more opportunity to play.

Tonight I thought that I’ve give a high key white a go.  There are a lot of ways to do this, like lighting a white background with a couple of strobes, but I saw a novel way of doing it earlier today … shot directly towards a soft box and use it for your white … works like a charm.

A little bit of photoshop later (e.g. erasing the sides of the soft box that were just in the frame) and abracadabra !
