I keep the backdrop on some abs pipe that I hang off of pipe so that when I’m done with a shoot I can roll the backdrop up and keep the cloth smooth. > > I do see some of the background illumination getting onto your subject > though; visible along the (camera) right hand edges.

The gelled strobe was about 2 feet from the backdrop, with barn doors directing light. The subject was bout five feet from the jelled strobe and 7 feet from the backdrop. The light that was supposed to be the rim light ended up being a fill from behind and to the right of the subject. Maybe for a rim light on a small subject I should have used a gridded strobe rather than a soft box? > > > On Fri, Mar 14, 2014 at 6:12 AM, Larry Colen <l...@red4est.com> wrote: >> My use of unlit black backdrops is effective, but getting a bit tedious. >> Tonight I experimented with illuminating the black drop cloth with a gelled >> strobe. >> >> This is my favorite of the set: >> http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/13144074523/in/set-72157642331444985 >> >> It should be safe for work even though the model is wearing no clothes. >> >> Large gridded softbox as key, camera left, small soft box behind subject and >> gobo camera right, and gelled strobe on the backdrop. >> -- >> PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List >> PDML@pdml.net >> http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net >> to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and >> follow the directions. > > > > -- > -bmw > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > PDML@pdml.net > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
