*HELP! Sunset Photo Shoot!? TIPS!? *
Hey everyone,
Well, this afternoon I am scheduled to do a sunset photo shoot with a local model here in hawaii. Ive done sunset shoots before, but I want this one to come out as best as possible, being that we would like to try printing some of these photos out. I just wanted to know if anyone has any experience with doing sunset photo shoots? Any tips for getting great lighting? I have a reflector, but this will by my first time working with one. It is double sided, one side silver, the other side gold. Which side is better? should I use flash? which direction will I get the best light? Does anyone know any good sites with examples of sunset model shoots? Maybe I should look at some sports illustrated swimsuit pictures!? well, i just wanted to know if anyone had any tips that could help me out. Thanks in advance... John |
What kind of camera, flash etc. and what film are you using? The gold side of the reflector will give a much warmer tone than white or silver. Depending on the light, film etc. it may be too much warmth.
I always use fill flash for people pictures. But depending on your camera, flash etc. it may get a little complicated and I wouldn't necessarily recommend it on such short notice. |
well, im using my crappy 707. 5.2 mp digital cam. Its alright...but if lighting is right, its pretty good.
like ive stated before, i want to chuck this one and get a 10d. thanks for the tips jeff! i appreciate it... anymore?@? |
I like using the Cokin Sunsoft or a "pop" filter: pink or yellow. A Softar 1 gives a nice mellow/soft look.
