_DSC8643_Sharon Behrendt_200ppi.jpg

for inkjet printing,200 ppi

I shot this with two umbrellas stacked one a bit higher than the other,and both aimed downward at around 50 degrees or so I guess at my subject. One was a shoot-through umbrella,and the other was a soft-box style,enclosed umbrella. The shoot-thru 40 incher I have had for many years,and it gives some specularity on the skin. The newer,enclosed Lastolite umbrella offers more of a softbox-type of light,which is a LOT less specular and sparkly than the shoot-thru umbrella is. By stacking the umbrellas,I get a big,soft light pool, but also a touch of sparkle, 'cause this is going to run in the sports section as a Black and White most likely. The two 40 inch umbrellas ensure that each eye will have a strong, sparkly catchlight.
