Linsey (with fader ND)

Linsey, a photo by Ragoem on Flickr.

Last week we  did a photoshoot with Linsey.

I wanted to try my Fader ND mkII to get less depth of view with direct sunlight.

The goal was to get the aperture to f5.6 with the 85mm/1.4 lens I use.

But I also want my flash not harder than 1/4 power to get a decant recycle time out of the LP160.

So I set the ND filter @50% and used 2 LP160 @ 1/4 on a Double flash bracket and the shutter time @ 1/60s to get the lighting the way I wanted.
The only thing I did not have control over was the wind, because of that I couldn't use the umbrella I had with me to soften the light the way I wanted.
