- Canon 7D, Canon 70-200 f/4L IS lens, 1/125 sec at f/5.6, ISO 100
Here’s a quick behind-the-scenes of a shoot I did last month. Some of the background was moved around after this initial setup shot, but the lighting pretty much stayed the same. I have three lights used here, all Alien Bees triggered with Pocket Wizards, to give the scene a simple, clean look. Here is the lighting equipment used:
- Main light (right): ABR-800: Alien Bees Ringflash with 56″ Moon Unit
- Second light (left): AB-800 with medium octabox
- Background fill: AB-1600 with softbox
