so i wanted a picture of me wearing sunglasses, and reflected in the sunglasses is some crazy scene. a skyline, or mountain range or something. the easy way to do this is take a picture of the sunglasses, and then mask out the lenses, drop in your reflection image in photoshop, and call it a day.
i didn't do that. instead i set up my tv to show a skyline, set up two flashes to illuminate me, and fired away. some problems encountered were:
1. i had to keep the shutter open longer than usual (1 second) in order to burn in the tv image.
2. the window blinds were letting in too much light from outside. had to cover them up.
3. long shutter exposure = have to sit very very still.
4. the light from the tv was illuminating the whole room.... had to burn it down in ps.
5. reflection in glasses still not as big as i would've wanted.
that's about it. used the silver reflective umbrella to control light leaks into the rest of the room, and the lumiquest sb-3 to create a hardish-soft light source camera right.
