harmertrials Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) shot with a nikon d60 and 18-55mm kit lens. used two flashes on ebay slaves for most of them, one vivitar 283, one cheap jessops flash...comments welcome Edited July 18, 2009 by harmertrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Should probably invest in some light-stands - it'd make the flashes a hell of a lot more useful, 'cos in most of these they seem to be overly lighting parts of you that don't matter, if that makes sense? Just seems like an over-done, not-quite-rim light... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmertrials Posted July 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 i would've thought the flashes would just need to be a bit further away/diffused.. we are going to go get some night shots in a bit so we will see how that goes...

Mark W Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Yeah, the light-stands thing was just 'cos he seems to be hiding them behind stuff that's in shot, and putting them low so I thought he may have just been lying them down. You can just move them away/power them down, but having the flexibility to have them fully out of the frame and lighting things more evenly over a larger area is pretty useful, especially for bigger shots. Stuff like the third one from the bottom - if you can move them around and have them higher up, you can light up larger areas to give people more of an idea of what's going on. It's just about controlling it more, which will be especially important shooting at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spektrum Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 great stuff mate, i'm shooting with a d60 and the nikkor lens as well. If you figure out how to take some nice pictures in the dark without a flash, please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
