My daughter, Ashley, likes this shot of herself and uses it as her profile picture on Face book. I shot this with one flash fired through an umbrella at camera left pointing down at about 45 degrees. I would have liked a second flash to blow out the background and eliminate the shadow that you can still see. As it is, I used a curves adjustment in Photo Shop to achieve this high key effect and a mask to retain the proper exposure on the subject.
I Really need more lighting equipment, but my wife tells me I had best save my extra cash for some projects she has in mind; a new greenhouse for instance. Bowens have a nice 400 WS kit with two 200WS units that can be used either with AC or battery. I could use this in conjunction with my two shoe mount flashes to have a 4 light system that would allow a main light, fill light, hair light and one more for the background. Of course I would need a wireless trigger system and a few other accoutrements ...oh well! If I think on it long enough I will find a way.
