Stobist Boot Camp II


David Hobby over at Strobist had posted an assignment for budding photographers. The assignment was to do a headshot of someone and in turn have them take a shot of you. I have had to work nights but it was a good chance to drag the gear out to the plant.
I had to scout out a place that looked alright. The shots below were test shots, I was shooting with my 50mm 1.8. When you kick it out of focus it has a nice effect, as you can see in the last picture. Setup was a shoot through umbrella camera right and a flash to the left and behind the subject. Josh from work was kind enough to to model for me. Also if there are any single women from the ages of 19-30 he is looking for love. He even has an airplane. ~Erik
