Scotty ‘Woof’, originally uploaded by mark.mortensen.
Doing some product shoots this weekend on white seamless. Scotty volunteered to be my assistant as I setup the lights. I’ve received Scotty from my god-mother when I was 4 years old getting my tonsils removed. He’s traveled and stayed with me ever since. As you can tell he’s had some wear. On the bottom of the toy it reads “1972 KAMAR INC. JAPAN”. Remember when toys were made in Japan and not China?
Technical Ramblings: 2 Alienbee B800′s with 7″ silver reflector flagged with black foam paper shot at the background. 1 AlienBee B800 in a strip box above the camera. Flickr comments have the setup shot for reference. Triggered with Alienbee cybersyncs. Front of Scotty metered at f/20 and backside at f/25
Post work with Totally Rad Actions; Oh Snap! and Boutwell Magic Glasses (gives some definition to Scotty)
Oh, I also used a recent purchase of the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport. This now allows me to create custom DNG profiles for my camera for the location. I’ve done some preliminary testing and so far it’s created some very accurate and pleasing to the eye profiles.
