Giddy Up!!

Uploaded: April 17, 2008

Description


Okay everyone! I need some guidance here. Please help me,and be honest.

Similiar to the other one, but reworked in PS to add more space in front of the horse. But, I am more concerned with the lighting. The background lights are spilling over onto his face. How can I prvent this? Move him farther away from backdrop?

My background lights are continueous lights, 500 watts each. Aimed straight at back drop at waist level (since most of the photos are taken from the floor) off to the sides. No umbrellas used for these.

Also, how can I light the floor more? I don't mind doin PS clean up work, but I really want to get it right IN the camera.

Thanks for helping!! Enjoy your day!!

Amber! This is sooo...adorable girl! I can't get over these! I wish I had some better advice for you in the lighting area, mastering studio lights is a challenge! Are you getting shadows? Do you use a bounce flash? #5802967
