Photo of the Day 3/364 Doyel a A Mix of Both Worlds

I met Doyel through Nikki on our last shoot. I took a couple of shots with her and noticed the light really falls nicely on her skin. Probably because of her skin tone. I asked her if we could schedule an hour of shoot for her portrait on Pakistan costume and she gladly agreed.


For the lighting i used 4 580 EX II 3 as slaves and one as master using Pocketwizards 3 Flex tt5 as receiver and Mini TT1 as commander (mounted in it the 4th 580 EX II) on mounted to Canon 5D Mark II's hotshoe. Please see diagram below.


On post processing I used a bit of Librodo's editing and on lighting the Strobist way hence the title A Mix of Both Worlds.




Here is Nikki and Doyel after the shoot.

Canon Speedlight Video Tutorials

If you are a Canon user like myself I have discovered a link with speedlight video tutorials courtesy of canon digital learning center.  Check the part 1 here and part 2 here.  The video shows how to control external speedlights through the camera.
