With a cat!
Had to be done really. It wasn’t about the lights, I’ve had them for a while, this time I wanted to try out my black low-key background.
Today’s bad weather presented a perfect opportunity to stay in and play, and after yesterday’s outing with the birds it was a bit of a bonus!
I chose one light, above the subject, so it didn’t directly light the background. Using a 50mm I was able to shoot at f11, giving plenty depth of field to keep things sharp.
I’m really pleased with the background, I thought I’d get a little reflection from it but it stayed very black. I got my reflector out and ready but didn’t need it in the end. All good fun – can’t wait to use it in an OCA exercise.
Getting results like this is actually very easy with the right gear – but don’t tell anyone I said that!
Thought I’d throw in one more just for fun. 🙂
