This weeks' image is a full length portrait shot of the girls in their Halloween costumes.
It was shot with the D300 + 35 1.8 (1/60 @ f8) with two Speedlights.
The SB-800 (camera left) firing through a Ezybox softbox (at about 45° to the girls), the SB-900 directly behind them (to separate them from the black background), all controlled from the built in commander flash.
The commander was also set to provide a small amount to front fill.
Even with the SB-900 behind them, the original shot had the girls lost in the background a little - so I had to do some work in Photoshop to help out:
Original Image
I added a new Layer (which I increased the levels on) to bring the hat and wig detail back.
Adjusted levels on Hat
I then masked out the rest of the image (which returned them to their original 'correct' levels).
I then did some other dodge and burn adjustments using the Wacom Tablet to increase / decrease the levels as required across the image.
