Maximize the effect of natural-light side lighting<\/h3>\n

I got very lucky Saturday morning. We had a grey, drizzly morning that turned into one of those bright but overcast-type afternoons. The diffused and soft light meant that my glass front door turned my entry hall into a beautiful large softbox. It was the perfect kind of light to play around with another still life arrangement.<\/p>\n

So play around, I did.<\/p>\n

The only problem with all that soft light bouncing around the hallway, is that the side light effect gets kind of muted. <\/p>\n

\"nodefinition\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After all, almost as much light is hitting the far side of the object as is hitting the closer side. Just like the last set-up it was the black tri-board to the rescue.<\/p>\n

\"BTS-<\/a><\/p>\n

Putting it around the back and across the far side of the pitcher kept any light from reflecting back on that side. It did a great job! Actually, it did too good of a job.<\/p>\n

\"toodark\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can see that now the flower on the far left is too dark. To fix that, I called in my 4 year old to hold a big white foam board up over his head and pointing down at the flowers. <\/p>\n

\"Gebera<\/a><\/p>\n

That quick fix was just enough to bring a bit of light to the left flower but still maintain the shape provided by the black GOBO*. Natural light is always so beautiful — especially when it’s the type you want at the time you want it. Makes things so much easier to set up and put away. <\/p>\n

*GOBO, by the way, is short for “go between” so it’s any object that “goes between” your subject and the light. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
