When we bumped into these two characters, we had an impromptu session right there in the hotel lobby. Electronic Arts were holding a Community Day for\u00a0the\u00a0video game titled &#8220;Army of Two: The 40th Day&#8221;.\u00a0 A community Day is when a video game company (such as Electronic Arts) brings in some of their biggest fans, as well as bloggers and site owners to get an exclusive look at the game before it releases to the public. It just\u00a0seemed like a good idea to have our two models, Julia and Jamei,\u00a0to joint them for photos.<\/p>\n<p>For the techies amongst us who would want to know about the lighting\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0the lighting was with two softboxes at 90&#8242; from each other. The one softbox was on my left, and close to me. The other was 90&#8242; from me to my right, pointing at the models and beleaguered warriors. Each softbox\u00a0had a speedlight, with the one to my right set to twice as much power as the one to my left.<\/p>\n<p>As for the wild child\u00a0Julia sprawled\u00a0there on the ground .. um, yeah .. that&#8217;s all Julia.\u00a0 No direction needed!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/images\/workshop\/Seattle-Julia-0785-edit.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"1127\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Julia again, from the session outside on the streets of downtown Seattle.<br \/>\nLighting is by a single softbox to my right:\u00a0 1\/200th @ f5.6 @ 200 ISO<\/p>\n<p>Thanks again to everyone who attended and made this workshop an energizing experience!\u00a0 And a big thank you to our two incredible models.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Photography workshops<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/photography-workshops\/\">More info<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0about upcoming\u00a0photography workshops.<\/li>\n<li>Recap\u00a0of\u00a0previous\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/category\/photography-workshop\/\" target=\"_blank\">photography workshops<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>recap: Photography workshop &#8211; Seattle (2009) And well may you ask what is going on here!?\u00a0As we were walking back from the session outdoors during the flash photography workshop in Seattle, we still had our off-camera lighting ready &#8211; two soft boxes with speed lights.
