Luminance

June 14th, 2007 by Benji Mast

Three word sentences. Wedding pictures later. It rained today. I shot today. I love it. I love what? Off-camera flash.

Okay, so that wasn’t quite a sentence, but I tried.

1/200 f/14, Flash set at 1/16. I set the camera on self-timer on the tripod, grabbed the flash with my new, el-cheapo, ebay, remote trigger and held it above the flower until the camera fired. f/14 for depth of field, 1/200 to knock out ambient light.

    Hey nice work. I like it. You said you used 1/200 to knock out ambient light which I’m asssuming gave you the black background, but how exactly does that work? If you don’t mind letting out a few trade secrets could you let me know how you made this shot. Thanks.

    [...] Thanks Elliot for the question on technique for my Luminance. Heh, this is going to abbreviated. I just lost about half a page of carefully thought-out technique. I think I hit the keyboard shortcut for “Back” and lost the entire post. [...]
