Time for School Pics - One light set

Figured that it was time for school pics for the kiddies. I get tired of the same old blah background shots. I guess that's fine for the yearbook. However, for my wall (and my money), I thought that I'd like something different.



I had an image in my head of the type of pics that were taken when I was in school. Blah background with a fake plastic wooden fence. My vision updated that with a darker background (and natural at that) with a real wooden fence. These were shot outdoors at a small wooden bridge that crosses an equally small stream. Sky was cloudy and the sun was setting. Camera was facing north. Light provided from a 900WA set to 1/8 power and shot through a 30" white umbrella camera right. Shutter times varied depending on the amount of ambient I wanted to include. Exposures were generally around f8.



Cheers,
Steve
