Hi all.
I am upgrading my flashes I currently have 2 interfit ex 150's and. New bulbs for these are expensive £25 for model light and £65-70 for flash tube. So my question is if I pay a little more for my flashes are the bulbs usually cheaper?
Joe.

The background need to be lit independently from the subject.

Either one light concealed by the model or a pair sited out of shot, one on either side.

Once you have decided upon the light on your subject you adjust your background lighting to be 1 - 2 stops brighter.


its so obvious now you say it cant believe I was so thick to ask lol

Another thing you might want to think about is that you cannot micro-adjust your lens with the 60D and it could be that part of your unhappiness with your current lens is due to a need for your lens to be micro-adjusted or calibrated to your 60D. YOU/WE can calibrate lens for the 50D, 5D?'s, and 7D as well as the upper end pro bodies but not the 60D. If you get a L lens and your sensor is off, the new expensive lens could just as well need calibrating and you'll need to send the lens and camera to Canon to be calibrated.

A lot of uhh'ers who shoot the 60D will come to their defense but if you google for complaints about focus problems with the 60D, you'll get way more hits than you'll want to read. Some of those images you've seen that failed to impress you may be soft for a known reason and the owner doesn't know the difference or that the problem even exists or that there is a solution and what that solution is. Personally, if I owned a 60D I'd buy a L lens first, if it's soft, do the calibration thing with Canon and start looking for another body to trade for with people like KEH, Adorama, B&H, or Canon even, maybe a refurb 7D.

You may have just hit the nail on the head and I have to admit I did not know about that problem. Presumably if I had a lens calibrated for the 60D when I bought a new body I would need it recalibrating for that body? If I upgraded my body it would be to a 5D mkiii as I have been talking to my misses and managed to persuade her to let me do it.

Very nice. Now this is just my preference - but I would like to see the white whiter. I like high key to have a pure white background. Ideally you shoot it that way and meter the background about one stop brighter than the subject. There is a little variation allowed, but much under and it goes gray (like you have) and too much over will bloom around the subject.

For the first one, take off some of that space above her head.


how do I achieve this without making the subjects skin look pale?

The Captain's comments are straight-up. My addition would be I always like to see more "environment" in toddler photos. The car/truck in the bottom photo goes a long way toward this. It need not be cluttered, as in the average living room, just some "symbolic environment".
Excellent post...thanks!


are you saying to fill the frame a little less (zoom out a bit more) ?
