Today, Greg and I went for a quick shooting at the Millennium Gate in Atlantic Station. Location and weather were perfect – and so was our model Tai Destiny.
We met a bit earlier to discuss the setup etc (and also to get a coffee 😉 ) and then went over to the gate. The actual shooting started at 10am and we had to fight a bit with the sun being covered by some of the houses. We shot for about 1.5 hours and moved location several times around the gate.
Basic setup – changed a bit over time… see EXIF data.
Camera: Sony NEX 6
Exposure: f/4-5.6, 1/160, ISO 100
Lens: Sony 50mm f/1.8
Flash 1: Canon Speedlite 580 ex ii @ 1/4th power into umbrella camera left
Reflector for fill camera right
Hair light: sun

Here is a lighting diagram which is what we used more or less for all shots.
Atlantic Station as backdrop worked quite well and added some “urban feel” to the shots.

Nice work. NEX6 and 50 f/1.8 have me rethinking the whole
DSLR APS-C thing.
Thanks. The combination is very powerful indeed. Even at f/4 you get substantial Bokeh. Also, I shoot the nex with Leica-M glass which is extremely cool – i think one or two of those shots are with a 35mm summicron.
Terrence – Really good work! . Nice model also.. I LOVE the
lighting here!…
