My niece just turned 1 and my sister asked if I could try and do what they call "smash the cake" (baby in diaper and give em a cake... messiness ensues) vs paying $450 for a studio session.
I agreed to do it and she knows this will be my first attempt at something close to studio-type shooting. I've read most the strobist info so I understand how everything works, but I'm looking for a little input.
Equipment:
53" white seamless roll (purchased for the shoot)
1 - canon 430ex
1 - vivtar285 (purchased for the shoot)
2 - 43" shoot thrus & stands
cactus V4s
(I have gels too)
I've been experimenting with both strobes on either side of the camera, same power, which gives me good lighting, but I was looking for any other suggestings/input that would work better. Bare flash? One pointed towards the seamless more to blow it out? Different power settings?
