Holiday Party Dress up



I hope everyone is having a great holiday season so far. Saturday was my company's holiday party. So before Athena & I headed out I had to take some pics of us all dressed up.



I set up my white seamless paper in our living room as the background. I put the camera on a tripod with a timer to shoot us. Then got out the Alien Bees. One is in a 5 foot octabox as the main light and the other Bee is in a 1 foot x 5 foot stripbox for a side light. I used my PocketWizards to trigger the lights.



Then I'd push the button and run over and it was up to us to do something in front of the camera till it clicked. We had an absolute great time doing this. Athena wanted to stay and do more but I thought we should get to the party. (I can always set it up again).



David Hobby over at Strobist wrote up a blog about this app Strobox. So I thought I'd try it out. Here's the lighting diagram on how I had the setup. All this was in my living room.(wow!)

Dude.. that's so fun. Can't believe that's in your living room!

Just bought our seamless BD two weeks ago. Lots of fun.

You now need an e-bay remote radio trigger to fire the camera!
