Evening All,
I rarely get the opportunity to post on the boards these days but wanted to share my latest effort with you. I've recently bought a Godox flash and trigger, some backdrops and stands as I want to learn to use flash. Today, I had a bit of spare time while my wife and kids were out so started practising by taking a self portrait. My set up was as follows:
I toyed with the idea of gridding the softbox but decided I'd move the softbox closer and further away to see the inverse square law in action. Secondly, I wanted to understand light fall off and it's relation between distance to subject and subject to background.
I placed myself about 3 foot away from the backdrop and under exposed the backdrop by one full f/stop, I understand this helps with backdrop and subject separation.
This is the result:
Any tips on how to improve will be gratefully taken on board.
James
