Light this...


St. Augustine-5
Originally uploaded by John Meore
Scenario...Evening, Large white Tent, A few hundred people, 1 Speaker and a couple of Musicians. "Please shoot the speaker and keep the shadows to a minimum."

Solution...Use the white tent ceiling as a giant reflector. Use direct and in-direct lighting to fill the shadows and dark spots.

Here I used 3 strobes, one on each side of the tent, stage right and left about half way back, pointed at the stage and the ceiling. One more strobe was placed in the back center of the tent pointed at the stage and ceiling. I fired them with PocketWizards.
This allowed me to move around the tent and hot worry about harsh shadows with the on camera flash.
I used several lenses, from a wide angle zoom (17-40) to a telephoto zoom (70 - 200).
