[Nikon D5, Sigma 35mm ƒ/1.4, ISO 400, ƒ/1.4, 1/125–Alienbees B1600, Translucent Umbrella, Pocketwizard remotes]
My daughter helped me today with a photo shoot. Here she stood in for a test shot where I needed a key/leading light due to the overhead skylight creating unpleasant light on her face.
Once I had my setup, I dialed the Pocketwizard AC-3 power up and down to balance the light in the room. I made it about a stop brighter to be sure it was the leading light on her face.
Next, I moved closer and tried a few angles with the Sigma 35mm ƒ/1.4.
After exploring my options later, I took my second Nikon D5, put the Nikon 85mm ƒ/1.8G lens on it, and did a few more shots for angles. Now it is on a second body because it would be much faster to change cameras than lenses.
Again I then tried a few different angles and compositions.
