Here is a photo from an experimental photo shoot that I have done with some of my friends. We decided to try and recreate pictures from car advertisements as our main focus and as well as trying some strobe techniques. Our first attempts by just using a slow shutter resulted in a flat photo where the colours were too warm due to the streetlights by the side of the road. Moreover, the streetlights intentionally became our only source of light resulting in an uneven lighting on the car.
We then decided to correct this by using a flashgun to provide additional lighting. The flashgun was fired from a distance of 1 metre repeatedly from multiple directions including the other side of the car. The camera flash was also fired but set at a lower level so it would not overexpose the photo. The final result can be seen in the photo above. Below are the settings used to achieve this photo:
- Camera used: Samsung NX20
- Focal length: 50mm
- Aperture: f/7.1
- Aperture: f/7.1
- Exposure time: 20 seconds
- ISO: 100
- Yong Nuo YN560-III Speedlite set to manual mode at 1/4 power
