  • You could include the final pic at the end of the video. That would be really cooooool... :)

  • you can click on the link in the description which shows the final shot.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • Great as usual, Dustin. Suggest including a link to the actual photo/flickr/website in the description? :D

  • done! :)
