today started out very differently, i wanted to do my georgia o'keefe distorted sense of scale idea, but it wasn't working out well. i think i need more softboxes and a smooth background of some kind. so some other day, g o'k.
while trying to work through things, i shot this wood statue on our wooden floor, and quite liked it. so then my goal became trying to get the best gradient falloff on the floor behind the statue i could. i wound up positioning a 42" umbrella behind the statue, mostly to illuminate the floor. then i had my sb-3 softbox camera left at low power to throw a bit of reflection onto this side of the figure (it's kinda shiny). shot over and over to get the most floor in the shot i could, and called it done.
tweaked the color in lightroom, added a bit of vignette, and there it is.
strobist info:
nikon d60 iso 100, f5.6 1/200th of a second
sb 28 through a 42" white umbrella @ 1/16th power for the floor
sb 28 through a sb3 camera left @ 1/16th power for reflections
