In the Spotlight
June 20, 2007 | Filed Under Photo Tips, basketball | 3 Comments
I shot a basketball on my pergo floor in my home studio. Overhead I used a Canon 580EX flash at 1/8 power with shipping tube over flash head to create the spotlight look. I positioned a second 580EX at 1/32 power on floor with snoot pointed directly at ball to give a bit of fill to the lower half of ball.
I was quite pleased with the way this turned out. By looking at the image itself, you would think it was taken on a basketball court floor, rather than a basement studio.
Below shows how the shot was setup:

Dave Hoffmann / For The Baltimore Examiner - Suzann Pettersen pumps her arm after sinking her par putt on the 18th hole to win the LPGA Championship at Bulle Rock Golf Course in Havre de Grace on June 10, 2007
Beautiful weather brought out the best in these professional golfers. In the end, Suzann Pettersen was 1-shot better than Karrie Webb and was crowned the 2007 LPGA Championship winner.
Little Blue Eyes

My son was playing on the floor the other day and I was noticing his beautiful blue eyes. I grabbed my camera and took a nice closeup of him.
I processed the image using Nicole V’s actions and was extremely pleased with the outcome.
