L for the best view!

Back to my modeling series with Deeya.

Nikon D300 + Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VRII
200mm, F/2.8, 1/1250s, ISO 200
SB900 (1/8 power) + Umbrella + Pocket Wizard FlexTT5

Just love that creamy bokeh of the Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8. I was about 9 meters from the model.

The red flowers on the grass are from the so-called 'flamboyant' trees which are in full bloom during the month of December in Mauritius. They indeed make a nice red carpet.

Model: Deeya Beerjafan
Location: Mauritius

Nikon D300 + Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VRII
Focal Length: 150mm, Aperture: f/2.8, Shutter: 1/4000, ISO 200
1 x SB900 at 1/2 power + Pocket Wizard FlexTT5 / MiniTT1, 45 deg. from the model

I must admit that the lighting could have been better. I was using a SB900 without any modifier (I ruined my only reflective umbrella prior to this shot), I completely forgot that I could increase the ISO (I was already at max. aperture F/2.8) to get a better exposure on the model. Well, lessons learned for next time :-)

But in the end, I am very happy with the results of this unexpected low key shot.

First of all, a Happy New Year to all of you!

I just came back from my native island Mauritius where I spent the end of 2011 with my family. I took this opportuniy to do some model shooting again. This was my first time to experiment with a SB900, Pocket Wizards and a reflective umbrella. It was a lot of trial and error, as well as some frustration. The learning curve is still long! :)

For the little story, this lovely forest was totally infested with mosquitoes. Luckily I had mosquito repellent spray, but kudos to Deeya who did not use any of it!
