Behind the scenes of Robs BLT shoot
I am posting this behind the scenes picture as a follow up to Stephens posts, and to show the effect of a large area diffused light.
As this was in my workshop the subject has been lit by the single flash unit only. ( Exposure 1/160 sec @ f18 ). The key being that the light source through the diffuser was quite a lot larger than the subject. The light would therefore wrap itself around the subject. Although a studio unit is inside the Apollo lightbox it has the same power as my SB80-DX. I use it as a matter of conveniance - its mains powered so I can leave it switched on all the time.
The SB80-DX was needed to trigger the studio unit only, so was positioned below bench level so as to have no influence on the exposure.
Black flags were used to limit the amount of lighting behind the main subject.
