day 79 - hard and soft



this one is a mix of hard and soft light. i grabbed this basic setup from strobist, i wanted to try it out and see how well it works, and i really like the results. i think hobby's really onto something here. usually when i want to do a hard/soft thing i just set up a cross light situation. hard light on one side, soft on the other. let the battle play out across the subject's face. to acheive something more like this my first instinct is to grab a reflector and use it to bounce back some light from the main light source. but you have more control over it this way. and i'm definitely a fan of control.
