white on white.. tricky.. kudos to you !!

I thought it would be and I was right. Its hard to evaluate in camera. Especially since I used the 1D classic. Gave me hotspot warnings everywhere but the result was worth it.

Mate,
lower the light a little, fold a piece of A4 paper in half, and prop it just out of frame to left, it will drop the shadows down.

Your stuff is coming on, hope you can stay out later with us next time.

S'pose I should put one of mine up, here we go from last month.

Single Bare 580EX to left bounced of an orange card, Blue card above catching reflections.

That's some spanking droplets!

From the shoot last week.

Thanks for nice comment.
Some more great shots coming in.

Can I just throw another curve ball into the single light source conversation....

Does the sun count as a second light source?

Also does using my stofen on the 580 mean I'm now using about 6 light sources, as the light bounces off every wall ceiling, and object nearby.

And reflectors?

sorry couldn't help digging that one up again.

@swaff.

do what you want. i think as long as you have your own reason - it doesn't matter..

Is this gelled, or just a white balance problem? I like the shot, but the color cast bothers me.

Good stuff, Mario... Watch your leveling, though... Vignetting on #1 could've been reduced a little bit... But that's just me... Keep'em coming!!!

I had another play about last night. Found some Canon red card. Thought I would muck about. Then got annoyed that catchlights on lenses are a pain to nail on a 135L so I came up with another new wallpaper.
