the idea for today was to use the early morning light coming in through our closed window blinds as an out of focus background. so i set up my 35mm lens at f1.8 for maximum blind out-of-focusness, the beauty dish for main, and the sb-3 camera left and behind for separation / rim. used a 32" white reflector for a bit of added softness, and there it is.
i like how it came out. and since the blinds are lit both from the flashes and from the light coming through from outside, it's easy to control via shutter speed. you want the background brighter, you leave the shutter open longer. you want it darker, you close it up faster. i think the winning number turned out to be 1/80th of a second.
and it's as easy as that.
