Day 4





I have been to college today for some practice shots i wanted to try on one of my friends' brother. That boy helped me with my self-portrait yesterday near the mag shop. We got some good shots mixing the ambient, sunlight and my Nikon SB600. This shot was done inside my college campus near the Studio-10. The back ground is the earthen terracotta grills and through it the outside valley can be seen. I am surely looking like a good here and it should be, because I was dead tired (actually both of us were) after walking up and down for 4 hours. I let some ambient light visible so that the right side of my face should no go completely dark.


Strobist info: Nikkor 50mm f/2.8, 1/80 sec. ISO 200, Nikon SB600 @ 1/16 (- 0.3 compensation) power, 50mm zoom setting with a 2X2 soft box from camera right 4 ft. away from the subject. A cutter was setup beside the flash to block the light falling on the background. Distance between me and the background was almost 7 ft. Camera on autofocus (I could click the sutter release myself because I was as close as 2.5 ft. away from the camera) and I managed to get a focus point reset on my right eye after 6-7 trials, Yahoo!!!!
