I spent Saturday evening with Kelly [kelack] at her Rubgy Club Dinner dance being the tog for the evening. First time I have ever done anything like this and it was huge fun for the most part. Kelly reassured me they weren't expecting miracles, so I just got busy with the camera. We had set up the studio stuff in the house, but first of all had drinks on the lawn in a very low setting sun, and after dinner, speeches, awards and an hour doing formal portriats, finished with the party. These are just a few of the more formal ones. I am still very muc a learner with all this studio lighting and can see several errors in my approach, but each time I get the kit out, the shots are improving. We had discussed it beforehand and opted for the more formal looking brown background over the white. They are not perfect, I would have liked them without the folds in the fabric but not to be on this occasion. The set up was two heads, each with softboxes, one camera right as the main light ad one further away and left for fill in.
1 - this was taken in the grounds on a tree stump that had been cut out into the shape of a seat. Taken with D300, sigma 24-70 and Nikon SB600 with lightsphere type diffuser
2 - in the 'studio, a group shot - D300, sigma 27-70
3- also under the lights, she loved the camera, he hated it D300, sigma 27-70
4 - finally a fun shot from earlier in the evening...spotted a togger? YES!
