“Lady Star Burst”
Note: This capture is a double exposure of ten frames with a variation in f/stops ranging from f/4 to f/40 and ISO factors ranging from 200 to 650. A neutral density filter was used to tone down and tame the whites.
This exotic lady was painted with a Nikon D2x, using a Nikkor 200mm f/4D IF-ED macro lens, and a 12mm extension tube.
Image solution:
focal length @ 200mm / exposure mode @ aperture priority / metering mode- combination of in camera matrix metering, and hand held spot meter, sampling sundry anchor points, for balanced light distribution. / 1/2500sec. - f/4 / ISO @ 200 / exposure comp @ -3.0EV / white balance @ manual, custom profile using an expo disk for calibration / AF Mode @ manual / color space @ sRGB / tone comp @ +2 degrees / hue adjustment @ +3 degrees / saturation factor @ +4 degrees / no speedlight - used combination of two 1200 watt strobes, powered down to 1/4 lumen burst, with attached white umbrellas, and diffusers in front; two 24" soft boxes, one positioned from the top, and the second soft box placed from the back with an additional diffuser panel in front to tame down the hot spots / support platform – tripod assist, with macro focusing rail / cable trigger release /
