So, do to the overwhelming popularity of the Housewives of Atlanta, my brother and sister through my wife and ourselves decided to try our hands at hosting a make-up bar. With my brother and sister's make up line as the showcase we had a small gathering of about 15 women come together, get made over, and had a very brief photoshoot with yours truly. Since weddings is my main thing, I had to rig some stuff together to make it work, and honestly, some equipment additions are sorely needed. We had no remotes o we had to slave everything using bounced on camera flash. no boom stand so my spouse had to hand hold some of the lighting as well as contribute to most of the creative ideas. Lighting consisted of one Alien Bees ABR800 with small moon unit [off camera] as main and key light, and two bare White Lightning X1600's rear and to the sides providing some very uncontrollable rim lighting. I cursed alot in my mind as flash slaves didn't see the on camera flash. I prefer a narrower depth of field so I tend to use ND filters to open up more, but I've only gotten one for the new kit [77mm for the 70-200], so when switching lenses, I'd often forget to close my aperture down to F14-16. Anyway, here are a few sample shots.
