Is that background the back of your hilite by any chance Dave?

oshead · 23-08-2010 03:49PM

No brian. It's my rarely used Botero 6x7 collapsible bg. I must use it more often. I still havn't tried the black side of the highlite yet.

Some highly abused ilford hp5...xrayed multiple times, overheated, chilled, hand developed, and run through my dusty scanner to cap it off!

Ah, you were using the inside of the hilite so I thought you might try the back of it as well! It's got a kind of gloss finish anyway so not sure how well it would work...

Love the shot above, lighting and PP look great.

The back of mine is like rubber, kinda semi-matt finish.

I quite like the lighting above too. Though it's very basic.

I was trying out the 85mm @ 1.8 under strobe. Something I've never done. For some reason I'm always up around f8 when I take out the strobes. So I set the ISO to 50 and shutter to 200. To camera right is the key, a 28" Westcott softbox with a 580EXII mounted. A large window to camera left acts as fill and is about 2 and half stops lower than key. A hair light was added for a bit of separation from the background. It's a 430EX with a home made grid above and to the left and behind the subject. She is about 3 feet from the background.

The PP is something I call 'My Venture', named after the infamous company that all photographers seem to hate. It's a set of actions I created to do that Highkey Venture look. The punters seem to love it and it sells.

I tried it on this lower key shot not expecting it to work.
