CAMERA
Medium format camera
80mm lens
short extension tube
SETUP
Two medium sized soft-lights were used. The first was placed to the upper
left and slightly to the rear and the second to the right and slightly
forward. A large white fill reflector was added from just under the lens
to just out of frame under the tail feathers. A laser
trigger was aligned across the set so when the dove was released from
above and behind the black backdrop he (actually she) would break the
beam. Birds naturally spread their wings when released from above. A delay module was used to delay
the trigger signal long enough for the dove to begin to open its wings
before an electronic
cable release tripped the shutter. I liked the way the eye pears at
the camera between the open feathers.
