I’ve been wanting to experiment with cross-lighting a subject with flash and the sun, ever since I read about it on Strobist. The effect can be very cool, but I knew I’d need some practice.
Leif was over again this weekend, and we were practicing photography together again, so he (only slightly reluctantly) agreed to pose for me again so that I could try it out. These were shot on a handy baseball pitch, which could be a useful location in the future.
I was using two bare flashes, a Canon 580EX and a Vivitar 285HV. Most of the time they were both set to full power, to match the sun, and were on stands 2-4 meters away from Leif.
Canon camara right, 45deg from camera. Vivitar, camera left 90deg from camera. Beware the GROIN BEAM!
Same setup as previous but with Leif blocking the sun, and the Vivitar moved back a bit.
As above
Sun camera right at about 100deg. Canon camera left at about 80deg. Vivitar directly below camera set to 1/4 for fill.
As above but the Vivitar directly behind Leif at 1/1 power to provide a rim light.
