Chicken (Alice), originally uploaded by mark.mortensen.

A few weeks back my co-worker, Steve, wanted a tutorial on shooting with strobes. He provided the chicks, I provided the light. Alice was a poser. Wonder if you need a model release?

Technical Ramblings: Three AlienBee B800s shot into a large light tent. One camera right, one camera left and one behind. Using a white shiny board I picked up at Home Depot for floor. Post work in Lightroom; crop, white balance and some chicken dust on the white board. Post work in Photoshop CS3 and and the Totally Rad Actions; Good vs Evil and Ying/Yang to whiten the whites and then some Oh Snap!.  Couldn’t find a shot of the setup.
