On closer inspection of the 1440x960 image, it might not be what I thought. Maybe JPEG artifacting or slight sharpening halo. If you look real close at the right-most bit of tentacle, along the very edge, in the fuzz, it looks like the blue is getting into the lighter colour there. But even along the edge of the dark support he's on I see something odd that suggests compression haloing. > The gelled strobe was about 2 feet from the backdrop, with barn doors > directing light.

Maybe for a rim light on a small > subject I should have used a gridded strobe rather than a soft box? That would certainly work. Even a bare flash with simple barn doors should work. You just need to keep flare out of the lens. >> >> >> 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. -- -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.
