An afternoon with Carley

I spent the afternoon with one of my granddaughters (Carley). We went out for dinner, did a little shopping, went to DQ for a blizzard. Then a couple quick photos when we got home. Canon 5DIII with a Canon 24-105 f/4 lens. The main light was a Godox AD360, the hair light and the background light were Godox V850’s. ISO-100, aperture f/8 and shutter speed 1/160.

Camera – Canon 5D-III

Lens – Canon 24/105mm f/4

Flash transmitter – Godox Xpro

 

Camera settings – Aperture f/8, shutter speed 1/160, ISO 100.

I positioned the main light so that my granddaughter will be lit with the edge of the light as it goes buy and the light will drop off before it hits the background. This way my granddaughter will be lit properly, and the background will present as black. Adjust the power of the main light to f/8. The Rim/Hair light will be one stop below the main light, f/5.6. The background light and the reflectors will be adjusted to taste.
