I am generally happy with my own photography, but every once in awhile I'll shoot a photo that even leaves me breathless. The above photo was one of those. I was doing a photo shoot for Budget Travel Magazine at Lulu's Cafe in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina yesterday. I knew I needed a shot of people dining, but didn't know how many people would show up and I only had four days to prepare for this shoot.
So, I decided to use two of my three strobes to shoot a composite photo. You may not know it by looking at it, but the above photo is actually a composite of seven different photos taken in 25 minutes.
I lot of people have already asked me on my Facebook Page how I made this photo, so I decided to write a nice little (long) tutorial. I hope some of you will read this and be inspired to try your own!
Wow, that is an awesome writeup! Total bookmark there. Not sure if I'll need to do a shot like that, but I certainly want to try now. Thanks for putting the time into the explanation.
oh wow! thanks for the writeup! i just assumed that you took 7 different photos because the different groups of diners came in at different times. it never occurred to me that you did it for lighting purposes. really impressive work!
