Week 1 setup…

Here it is, the first setup for this year’s 52 week project. This is not a complex setup at all and is probably the single setup that beginning strobist photographers start out with. I did not want anything more for this first photo as I intend for it to be the intro for this project. Anyway, the setup goes as follows. For the main lighting, I used my Vivitar 285hv, high right about 3ft away, set to 1/2 power with a reflective umbrella. For rim lighting, I used my Alienbee B800, about 12ft away to the back left, and set to 1/2 power as well. For this week’s photo, I used my 17-40L lens at 21mm with camera settings 1/200th, f/6.3, and iso 50. The camera was about 5ft away.
