Great shots. I like the lighting and mood.

Quick question on exif: if all your power is coming from the strobes anyhow, why shoot at 1/30th second? You could bump that up to 1/125th and the concrete would likely darken up a tad as well unless light spilled from the Bees.

fortinaa,

Thanks for the advice. I don't know much about lighting, haven't had a class, and haven't really had that much experience with it, so I didn't even think of that.

I've gotta do one more person there tonight, I'll give it a shot.

Thanks for the advice!

Yea I like the other better too -- the lighting on the face is better, and the expression on her face is a bit more "comfortable." This one she almost looks like she doesn't know what to do.

So you're not using a background at all? how far behind them is a wall, etc?

Are you using anything to meter the light?

No background. Here's the hallway I've been shooting in. There are small enclaves where the apartment doors are. I have my strobes nestled in those, on either side of the hallway.

Also, I don't have a light meter. I just took a bunch of test shots until I got what I wanted.

gotcha, so you're shooting facing right down the hallway, makes sense now!

Light meter? Lol, those are still used?

Ha, I know they are... I just pop a test shot and chimp it up with the good ole histogram!
