day 89 - high key



i cropped this one a bit differently than i usually do. most of the time i'm a 4x6 man, but for this shot there were some odd elements i couldn't eliminate and stay in a 4x6. it was nice that tako decided to pose for this one.

for this one i was determined not to have the same problem i did last time i did a high-key portrait. namely i had too much light going into the background, and it was eating away at the edges of the subject. so for this one i set up one sb-28 for the background, and started it out at 1/64th, then jumped it up one stop at a time until it looked right in the back of the camera. it's still a bit short of true white-with-no-detail, but i like where it's at right now.
