Sadly I'm not really up to speed on the late model domestic cars. But I think it could be either a Malibu (midsize) or an Impala (fullsize)...?

The strength of my wonderful niece. Should I ever grow up, I'd wish to have her fortitude.

The hot V8 ute was a Maloo. HSV GEN-F2 / Maloo R8 LSA. A very desirable vehicle.
The Malibu was a mid-sized sedan available from 2013 to 2016. https://www.motoring.com.au/holden-malibu-scratched-from-australian-line-up-104377/

Trying to get some starbursts out of the Ricoh GR. Not too bad, I think. Used one of those tiny mini-tripods.

f/11, ISO100, 20s


Shot the same scene with the FA31 (and K-1) last week. Both shots are slightly cropped. Aligning the lights on the right was less problematic with a proper tripod and the flip-up screen of the K-1!

f/11, ISO200, 30s

Great photo. The tone you set is very thoughtful and makes me wonder what has happened to build such character in this face? In any case feel free to ignore that question and tell me rather how did you light this?

Greetings UV,

Simply put, for such a young life, a host of challenges and responsibilities.

The lighting was intentionally simple, my goal was to capture her demeanor in a way that would show her in a relaxed state and place of mind.

Here is what I used and a bit of the process.

Strobe w/soft box on a light stand directly in front and slightly elevated above her eye line. K1 on a tripod just right of the light, under the soft box. I used a gold fill board bouncing up under her chin to warm her skin tones, but did not let the gold fill drift up to her eyes (the modeling light is very helpful). She is sitting on an end table that I positioned 8 feet away from the wall so I could get what I thought would be good fall off. With such a short distance between her and the camera and soft box, I chose to position the gold fill board by hand for best angle (glow), versus another light stand with a tele arm to grip the fill board.

After live view focusing to her catch lights, and making the subtle adjustments to the fill card by hand (in front of the camera), I sync fired both the K1 and the strobe with a third/mutual RF trigger. Yes I have the remote app, and while signal distance would certainly not have been an issue, practically speaking, with limitations to my grip and dexterity, I find it much easier in many situations to fire with a simple button push on a trigger, than with my phone. This method works very well for static subjects, this was my first attempt with a non static subject.

To maximize the reflective qualities of her eyes, I used a CPL, just at the blend edge.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

RM-
