A couple of fav's from the Mark Wallace PW Meetup Tour


(All shots using 5dmkII 24-105 f/4L, Pocket Wizard FlexTT5 and MiniTT1 TTL+one Light)

Really like this one. Lighting, emotion, and composition all work well together.

Hey everyone,

Normally I can't contribute to thisthread because I do a lot of glamour shots that aren't nude but just might be a little to risque for the group and I'd rather not take the chancebut here area coupleshots from a shoot I did on Friday...

Great shots Fred. Is that a three light setup (large softbox right, striplight behind left, and light on background)?

Hey Sean, thanks.

I was using only what was available to me at the time. It was a 3strobe setup. I was using a stripbox to the right and a little forward set at f5.6, another stripbox behind leftset at f8, and the third strobe with a 20 degree gridfor the background set at f8. I would have used a large softbox with a grid (to control the spill on the background) on the rightif I had it available but it was being used at the time. I also had planned on using a 4th light as a hair light butfelt it was unnecessary for the shots.

Fred,


The first picture is stunning! The color saturation, the detail. Just fantastic. It is incredibly smooth, solid, vibrant color. If that's what a 1Ds Mark III can do, I may have to sell my car.

Thanks for your kind words. It is a wonderful camera but it helps to have great lenses and lighting setup too. Hope you have a couple of vehicles to sell []
