Mishka's Blog For December 2023

As we finally hit December, the holiday tradtion of putting up a tree continues, and getting a few good Xmas pictures of the girls seems almost obligatory!

So to finish off the year, I will feature Katniss, my TAYU 148 girl.

For this set, I used the Xmas tree as a backdrop and used 4 constant LED lights angled in a rather complex arrangement, and a strobe set to a very low power, just to keep the shadows to a minimum. Katniss was dressed in her Xmas attire, and was posed a few feet in front of the tree, so that I could get a good depth of field.

I used an 85mm f1.4 lens set to around 1.8-2.2 to get a sharper focus, and used just enough warm light to get a very good look in the images. I did not want a lot of light for this set, but just a bit less so you can see the image clearly.

Anyway, I'll keep it short, but have a look at the photos!
