For reasons I won’t get into, I had yet to test my Alien Bees ABR800 Ring Flash. So after 8 or 9 months of collecting dust on it… today is the day.
I grab my subject, request a shiny ensemble and get set up. Concerned that the nude colored wall might be a bit “blah”, I opt to tack up a colored backdrop. So you can imagine my excitement when I spot this pea soup colored throw instead! Not only do I love the color but it’s got this gnarly woven texture to it. :-)
Ultimately, what seemed like a cooky idea to start, results in a rather impressive test shot. I’m most happy with how the texture softened up in the light. This was fun! Looking forward to the next attempt.
