Using a single strobe - creative examples - post yours

yep.

Just a quick shot of the wife this PM.
50D; Tamron 28-75; Westcott Apollo 28 soft box camera left; YN-465 1/2 power.

Oh, you LUCKY man.

How far away was the Westcott?

@ JonRobinson..

looks like you balanced your lighting perfectly..

Thanks guys. I am truly blessed.

The Westcott was only 2' feet or so away.
This is my first light modifier and I LOVE it! I know some folks gripe about the setup (flash inside, hard to tilt very far) but I love the results.

This photo was straight RAW to JPG no editing.

Beautiful, nice light and shadows.

Did you have it up and tilted down a bit?
Sorry for detailing, but pham is right... you balanced your light perfectly.

Mamiya 645 AFD + Ilford Super 400.
RX600 + 7' octabank camera right.

@ pepperoni.. where the Heck have you been>? nice shots BTW....


Titled: Skate or Die...
had another fun shot for myself ..

i remember playing on the Commodore 64 in my youth the Game "Skate or Die"

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/​Skate_or_Die!

this shot is dedicated to the game of the old.. although it has nothing to do with the game.. just my out of the box concept..

Personal work is going to be more like movie Stills for me..

- tell a story
- have motion
- make it interesting

hopefully i included all of those in this shot.. haha.. Pass or Fail?

lighting was one AB1600 camera Left about 8 feet away with PLM 64

triggered by Cactus V4's

thanks Kathryn for doing some hard work and hair banging, also to connie (mom) with working the white board flicks for the hair motion and the rock and dust data too !

and my friend Ryan Hicks was on the set to help out with anything too..

great shot pham...but...does the bottom right corner look off, or is it me?

I've been around. Just working on the business.

Dave63:

The light was a little high and tilted down.

Thanks for your kind words.
