day 20 - one light does the work of three, part 2

so the idea for today is the same as the idea for yesterday, only smaller. one flash does the work of three..... it's harder smaller. plus this buddha statue has a lot more specularity than my face does...... looks a lot different even though the same techniques are being applied.

setup image:

From tim's 365 (this is my year)

as you can see, one light with a grid on it, a piece of white paper as soft fill, and the inside of a tin box as a mirror-ish reflector. looking at the picture in hindsight, i wish i had placed the tin box behind the statue, to provide rimlight or some kind of edging element. but i didn't do that, so no edge today. maybe tomorrow.

strobist info:
nikon d60 iso 100 1/125th second @ f3.8
