SiPgoesTGIF2024 – #03 But first.. Coffee

Geplaatst op door

Departure to space the space center is coming up quickly. Early as it is, our friends enjoy a last coffee before they depart. Maybe a last good coffee for a long while, but with good company.

I used the Queer Eye – Fab 5 loft #10291 set and rebuild it a bit to function as an interior, this worked quite well and I believe I will save this setup for future shots. I wanted it to be early in the morning to experiment with the golden hour light setup.

Behind-the-scenes

For the lighting I switched to flash lighting with two color cards (yellow and red) to create the amount of light for an sunrise and the proper color for it. The toplight is a LED light as an indoor light this works fine.
An image of my first shoot for this picture. The scene is a bit more intimate but looks more like an evening drinking than an early coffee.

Camera Settings:

  • Sony A7IV & Sony 90mm Macro lens
  • 1/20th of a second, F8 Iso 200

Lighting:

  • There are two main lights in this shot. The first is the indoor lighting, done by the Godox SL60W with a softbox and grid. The second is the sunrise from outside, done by the Godox tt600s Flashlight with remote trigger and two color cards (yellow and red) to provide the amount and color of light for the sunrise. The flash shoots through a big double diffuser. (there is another light in the BTS photos, but it isn’t used).
  • The whole shot is brick-built, behind the window looking outside are some Lego trees to end the line of sight.

The whole shot the automatic metering of the camera shows a low light indication, but this is because it doesn’t know the flash is going to provide the missing light.
