day 10 - triple shadow

 


i almost feel like i shouldn't show anyone this move. like this style of kung fu is too powerful or something. it's sad, but this is probably the best idea i've had so far.


anyone can figure this one out. the triple shadow. three hard light sources spaced out so as to throw hard, graphic element type shadows on a nearby background (my living room wall, in this case). it was much easier to accomplish than i thought it would be.  now i'm going to have to figure out ways to mutate the idea. 


still, easy to set up, easy to do. stick someone in front of a blank wall, three hard flashes in a row, done. i like the graphic design type feel to it. reminds me of an old olympics design or something. there's a famous american artist who used to paint three distinct shadows on every object he painted, that's where the idea came from. can't remember his name. oh well.


strobist info: one nikon d-60 on a tripod. iso 100, f 4.8, 1/125th of a second. three sb-28s camera right, more or less evenly space out, each one at 1/16th power.
