I suppose I wasn't thinking right when I explained the lighting. There are actually 2 speedlights.... sb700 camera left, sb600 camera right. Sorry for the confusion. As for the first photo, I'm almost sure that her top didn't even have a collar.
I was using a single sb700 off camera. As far as the lighting goes, I wanted it to be as "mild" as possible, looking almost natural. An obvious fail hahaha
I would be willing to take that a little further and say that the image quality of the d7k is superior to the D300s, especially at high iso. Just sayin.....
Try $1500. The nikon 17-55 f/2.8 is amazing, but expensive. People think that they can buy a 300 dollar lens that will perform the same as a 2000 dollar lens. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
Hey guys, went out yesterday to test a few lighting setups on my girlfriend, and here's what I came up with. The shots have minimal editing done, and I would like to hear some opinions. Thanks in advance.
I completely understand what you are saying, and this thread wasn't really about not having enough gear, although it does concern me that we will be shooting 7 people outdoors using 2 speedlights. The thread was more about cooling my nerves. I know that you can understand how big something...
I'm in the Army, and it looks to me like this guy is at some sort of firing range, in which case, he would not be behind a barrier. I think the photos are fantastic, and I'm excited to leave for the army photo journalism course next month!
