LS2PJ / FLOATING DOME TUTORIAL VIDEOTAPING
BELOW ARE:DIRECT FLASH / BOUNCE / LIGHTSPHERE
Check out the demos where I shoot
Direct, then bounce overhead, then with the Lightsphere. It’s
insane it makes you wonder why anybody would shoot without it. Click here!**
Today
we did the tutorial for the new LS2PJ / Floating Dome as well as the
pocket softlite diffuser. We had Mike, from Custom Video, Becker,
Keats Elliott and Nicole helping with the shoot. Our model Jamie
braved some pretty cool weather at sunset to do a bathing suit shot for
us. It came out great!
I wanted to show how to REALLY
use the thing in different situations – in low light indoors, outdoors
in greenery using fill flash direct with dome, and outdoors sunset.
For the sunset, we had Becker
come out with his D2X Nikon and he got some amazing shots. We
took the yacht out into the ocean and I pointed the nose toward the sun
so the colors would be rich. Becker then shot direct through the
new floating dome and got some really great, soft direct-flash lighting.
