i was unhappy with how day 69 went.... so i went back to the well and gave it another shot. i decided i was going to figure out each color one at a time, and just lock each one down completely before moving on to the next element.
so i put a dark blue gel on a flash and pointed it at the wall. took a picture..... too light. stacked another dark blue on top of the first. nice, rich dark blue at 1/16th power.
grabbed a dark red gel, put it on another flash with a gridspot...... too light. stacked another dark red on there. now it's coming along.
grabbed my one remaining flash, justin clamped it to a reflector and used that as a bounced light source. crouched in front of the camera and took the picture. contrast and color adjustments in lightroom, and here it is. more successful this time.
i think if i'm going to go full out with this type of thing - joe mcnally style - i'm going to have to order up some more gels and maybe a couple more flashes too. it would definitely make things easier.
