Hello,
While I wait for the V1 or the X2T to be available for Pentax, I look for opportunities to take some pictures of the children, and so I use and enjoy my 'outdated' equipment

. I really don't post a lot of pics on the forum, but here are one of my daugther Teresa, taken this morning.
My daughter was distracted watching tv, and I took advantage of it to set up a quick lighting (key and fill). She was wearing a hat, so I though that I could use fill the same way is used in clamshell lighting, from below, to fill shadows under the hat. As key light, I used a round softbox in a typical position (45 degrees side, 30+ degrees above, etc). I measured the fill light with my photometer to make sure it was 1EV below the key light.
A third light (rim) could be added to add separation from the background, but I had no time for more.
This is a BTS of the shot, you can see my big studio

:
To create the fill light I used my AD360 pointing to the floor (quick to set up, I used a big translucent umbrella on the floor if I had time). Unfortunately some light from the AD360 is hitting directly to Teresa (I noticed later, you can see some hard shadows on the neck). My AD200+AD-B2+round softbox (Raja 65cm) was used as key light.
A photometer was used to measure the lights, my SpyderCube to get the neutral grey and middle tone. K3II + Samyang 85mm. Basic editing in C1, and I think this is all about the photograph.
I hope you like it. Regards.
