How did you give the background the blueish tinge?

[adotwhite]

@astigmarshal, flash meter? pfffttt. just test test and test. after a while your settings become natural

[astigmarshal]

I see ur not using a flash meter..

how come?

[pumpitupwhat]

I think its something called 'inverse square law'

great job as always! i am a fan!

"seemless" or "seamless"?

[fonzaloon]

So the lighting setup (strobist info) you gave at the end of the video seems more accurate than what you posted on your website. Looks more like unmodified strobes than a softbox.

How did you get the blue background? It doesn't look like white balancing to me (because of the color and texture).... did you photoshop that in?

[dustindiaz]

To your surprise, it's a combination of white balance, and contrast. I increased the "blacks" in the photo, which naturally saturates the photo. The WB was set to 5000 Kelvin°

The speedlight flashes are daylight balanced at about 5500K°

thus, it comes out blue, and the deepened blacks made it more prevalent.

cheers,

Dustin

Thanks for the inspiration Dustin & Erin! I love this video showing more of the "process" of photomaking and photog/model (hubby/wifey) interaction. What a great photo BTW. You guys rock!
