That's nice Ash, how did you manage to get her all to yourself? I'm guessing it was crowded on all the stands with models on?

Regards,
Geoff.

Re: Model @ Focus 2

I remember her - she was on the Westcott booth - which attracted a lot of attention. She's featured in a video tour of the show I'm currently working on.

The photo is definitely enhanced by a decent lighting setup

having not been at the show / this trade stand, i'm presuming that the lighting was set up & provided by the stand owner?

Re: Model @ Focus 2

Westcott sell studio lighting

You can see the setup in the video I'm working on. Struggling with nearly 90 clips!

I was surprised to see the exif indicating it was some form of continuous lighting. It gives a very clean result anyway and the colour balance seems spot on.

Hi Stephen, are you talking about Ash's shot? Not sure how the exif data would have info about the demo light set up?

I would normally think that if it had been studio flash lighting he would have been using Manual, ISO2200 also seems a bit high and more the sort of thing you may potentially use for available light. Westcott also specialise in continuous lighting.

OK, you did infer there was something in the exif that said it was continuous lighting

I am presuming that Ash was - as you can see in my video clip - one of the many crowded around the model and very doubtfully connected up to any of the lighting.

Re: Model @ Focus 2

What do you think Ian, maybe LED in those boxes?

More likely to be fluorescent lamps, Brian.

Re: Model @ Focus 2

It was all flourescent daylight balanced continuous lighting, there is no otherway you could do it with so many photographers.
Also you will see my iso is pretty high for this sort of shot giving me fairly fast shutter, this was due to the fact that it was a bit mad,elbows and stuff, to get right to the front of the pack of dogs that were hogging her, some were quite rude actually, if everyone just took a few shots and moved on it would have been alot more civilised Why you need a burstrate of 10 fps shooting a model like this is beyond me, but I guess they thought it maked them look more pro or something
