He's got bright red hot rod fins, so he's my rod Lincoln. Crowntail Betta fish. Decided to try the strobist method of shooting fish. Didn't have quite the set up described in the strobist post. Here: strobist.blogspot.com/2012/01/on-assignment-dude-for-lumi...
But it works. It's 2 580EXII's one in a Lastolite EZYBOX HotShoe for the white background and one bare being moved around trying different ideas. The backlight was at about 1/4 while the bare 580 hovered around 1/4 down to 1/8. Shot with a Canon 24-105L, Canon 7D, triggered with ETTL in manual mode and cropped and touched up A LOT. Not having a macro lens really made things a little difficult as far as focusing distances go, so getting him full frame on camera proved impossible. Also, I didn't have 4 lights to completely wrap him in light so I had to get lucky, and this was as lucky as I got.
