First photoshoot write up
Equipment used: 1x Manfrotto tripod - stills, 1x Elinchrom Ranger RX kit, 1x Nikon D850 DSLR, 1x Nikon 50mm f1.8 Lens, Lighting Stand Kit, Soft box folding 66x66cm.
Location: The Barbican - Near to Captain Jaspers
This was the first shoot that I carried out as part of this project. I arranged to meet my model (Sophie) at the Barbican during the evening as I knew it would be quiet around this part, this would give me plenty of room to set up my equipment and shoot my project. During this shoot I experienced some issues with the Elinchrom Ranger RX lighting kit, the lighting would not stay on; this is the reason why the images had an usual orange look to them. I also experienced trouble with focussing the camera, this was as a result of the lighting being so poor, this caused the camera to take longer to focus, which then because of movement, resulted in blurry images. This was the point at which I made the decision that for my future shoots I would carry them out during the day time, this would then also mean that I could use natural light, as well as some flash lighting alongside.
