March - A new 'Venture'?!

Another really busy month...

I am still working on finishing off the albums and prints from February's back-to-back weddings, nearly done now.

I also spent a day at Focus on Imaging with Dave McLean at the start of the month - Coming home with a set of Elinchrom DLite i.t. Studio lights.

This month's image was taken during my initial set-up test shoot.

Clare and I had some shots done at 'Venture' a few years back - Nice shots, but stupidly expensive... So I thought I would see if I could replicate a similar look in our spare bedroom with the 2 light Elinchrom set-up.

This is a white paper roll background, 1 head camera left into a softbox (main light), 1 head camera right firing against the white bedroom wall to provide some shadow fill.

Bring in a willing model, D300 with 35 1.8, 1/125 @ f11 and voila!

Still lots to learn, but enjoying the practise (and saving a fortune too!)
