Athena and Golem Zeus: Today in Herstory, by and © Michael Zara.

A recent Strobist post involved how to shoot a person who’s not too keen on “having my picture taken,” and discussed the use of a shoot-through umbrella combined with on-axis fill flash. So, after dinner Saturday, we tried out some lighting ratios in a loose and, uh, eccentric atmosphere.

This is lit from about 45° camera left and high, using a Canon Speedlite 580EXII with a shoot-through umbrella. I added some fill on the right side using the 580EX on-camera (but off-axis to the right, camera vertical) with the Omnibounce, dropped 2 stops.
