I was p-mailing Elizabeth the other day about lighting ratios and said I would try my usual 1.3 stop difference between main and fill and see what I got. Well I don't have enough room to put the main light as far to the side as I wanted, nor to put the fill light directly behind the camera. Worse it was on the opposite side a little. So main was at 8.0 6/10, fill at 5.6 3/10, camera at f/10 (or 8.0 2/3). (Maybe should have been f/11. I darkened it 1/3 in Nikon Capture, personal taste, I think.) I love the little remote control shutter release. Makes this a lot easier. I wanted a little more shadow on my left. Anyone have a bigger space I could use?
Also, I've set the white balance to auto -2. Hmm. I guess I have no idea what color temp that is. It's a little warm, but I like the skin tones. Opinions. (The shirt is navy blue, a bit purple on my screen, but properly blue on my LCD monitor.)
