Some lighting shenanigans
When it's too cold to set even a toenail outside, and the rooms you want to photograph for work aren't ready. I paid for this umbrella kit, so I'm going to use it.
For now it's just a trifold posterboard for a backdrop. Using the shoot-through umbrellas tonight. Megumin and Yunyun are our models. Using the 50mm f/1.8D lens at f/5.6 in aperture priority.
First, right LED only.
Adding the overhead desk lamp.
Left LED only
Left plus desk.
Both LEDs
And finally both LEDs plus desk.
As you can see, the addition of the desk light adds a yellowish cast to the image. Almost peach. The LED lights are rated at a color temp of 5700K. The desk lamp is a hotel standard desk lamp that came with the room.
A fellow anime redditor suggested a light box if I was going to continue with figure or product photography. After seeing what they got with a 16x16x16 box, I decided to order one for myself. I wanted to go the next size larger, but after taking measurements of my desk, the 16" box is my better option.
Boopenings to @sirfrogsworth. Hope you're getting to feeling better, and I'd like your thoughts on light boxes. In addition, I have some wide-angle shenanigans planned for the Three Sisters Bridges in the city once the weather breaks.
