so yeah, playing with a bit of lens flare and that shoot-a-bunch-of-light-into-the-lens look. here i wanted to do the whole thing with just one flash. so i setup an sb-28 @ 1/4 in front of the lens, and positioned my trigrip with a silver/gold cover on it above and just behind the camera. that way some light goes into the lens direct, and some goes up and bounces back down in a soft manner from the trigrip.
it worked out well. i got alisia to step in front of the camera, and took a bunch of pictures. i think it's a slightly different feel, dark room flash into lens vs. high key room flash into lens. i spent some time playing with the position of the flash in relation to the lens, just to see what different lens flares i can get that way. it's pretty predictable in a way. that big purple thing is always directly above the flash in the picture, and the orange thing is always on the other side of the center of the lens. so if you put the flash in the center bottom of the picture, the orange, purple, and white areas will all line up in the center of the frame.
interesting.
