Three-light…

…basketball player. Or to follow on from the theme of the previous post of one-light, two-light, I had better make this a one-light, two-light, three-light post.

This assignment was back at the beginning of the year, so lighting specifics will be somewhat hazy!

So first up, the one-light. Bare-flash on lightstand:

Then the two-light, key left, fill right, both 580’s fired through white shoot-through umbrellas:

Finally, the three-light. Two lights as above plus a 580 sitting on the floor on one of those little “feet” that come with the flash (you know the ones, you can either find 3 of them in your bag, or none). This was fired roughly toward his back, to light up the edge of the ball, otherwise it might blend into the background.

As I’m advance writing this for posting in a week or so, I can’t think at the moment of a four-light. However……. I am doing something in a couple of days where I just might give it a whirl…
