Hi Mary,
I'm you get pushed partner for this week. I've just had a look through the last few months of your album and you have some wonderful photos here. I can see that you use lighting beautifully in your photographs, so for this week I'd like you to building your lighting skills and take a portrait shot using RIM lighting. Is this something that you are able to do equipment, lighting etc…. that you may have around the house?
Oops …. I forgot to mention that I'm having an operation tomorrow which will see me with my left arm in a sling for 5 weeks. So when you issue your get pushed challenge to me can you go gentle on me:)
@deborah63 Hi, Debbie. Thanks for the challenge. I can try -- I don't know what I'll get. At the moment I'm down to my iPod Touch because the camera is dead. I did a Google search on Rim lighting setup -- gulp! I have mostly overhead, under cabinet, table, or floor lamps. I think the only realdirectional lights I have are flashlights and the like. Stay tuned and we'll see...
@deborah63 Debbie, I feel kind of sheepish asking since you gave me a wonderful B&W with great lines all with your arm in a sling, but could you possibly give me a different challenge. I'm having a hard time imagining how I can do that with the lights I have at home. And right now I'm a bit busy with several commitments, so just don't have the time to think it through and come up with a creative solution. Whatever else you come up with (that doesn't involve specific camera settings because my iPod just doesn't have them), I promise I'll give you something! Please?
@denidouble Thanks for the suggestion. I don't have any of those. Wish I did. The only lamp I can direct at more than one angle is one like you often find used on top of a piano. The wide lamp can be angled in an up or down way. I hope you know what I'm talking about. Otherwise my lamps cast off their light in all directions. At some future point I should invest in a few lights that could be used that way.
