Backlighting with the Sun
Friday, 05 February 2010 00:00 |
Here's a quick walk-through of two scenarios where I use the sun to to backlight my subject. I usually start with a natural light shot before I resort to using a flash. Using flash will give you the ability to control the background/ambient light (shutter speed controls ambient light) while properly illuminating your subject with flash (aperture controls flash exposure.)

Covenas, Colombia - Behind the Scenes
Tuesday, 26 January 2010 00:00 |
Lightenupandshoot.com heads to Covenas, Colombia for some Caribbean relaxation...and photos of some of the locals. Andy and I decided to bring both the Backpacker's Studio and Backpacker's Studio Plus (addition of the Alien Bee 1600 head and the Vagabond II for battery power). I suspect to receive a few emails for carrying something other than the Backpacker's Studio. But, when on vacation it's nice to bring out the big toys.
Photos and Part 2 after the break...
Lighten Up And Re-Shoot - Parkour Part 2
Monday, 18 January 2010 00:00 |
So after the 1st attempt at shooting Paulo Andres Escobar and his Free Running was a kinda failure because of my nap time...we go attempt Part 2. This time, everything is planned out a little better. We have a little more time because we are going to be staying with Paulo the entire weekend in a town called Guatape, Colombia.
