hot lights


i got the idea recently to do a setup with a mix of flash and continuous lights, each illuminating a different part of the subject. that way the cont light creates a blurry action feel, and the flash creates a sharp, detailed component. i don't have any studio hot lights though, so i had to grab a desk lamp and the base of a lava lamp to provide the continuous part.

these setups are just fun. you never know what you're going to get, there's an interesting color twist to it, and the more motion you put into it the better the shot comes out. i think the next time i do this setup i'll get someone with long hair, or some kind of swinging element to incorporate into the shot.


camera info:
on a tripod, at f 2.8, iso 100, 1/3rd of a second.
