I wanted this set to look ‘cinematic’; I love watching movies and everytime I go to the theaters, I always look at the posters and try to deconstruct the lighting used and the post processing applied. This is my beginner’s skills take on cinematic 🙂
Gears: Canon 7D + Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 OS HSM
Settings: f5.6 | 1/250 | ISO 160
Strobist: 580exii + half closed umbrella on camera top right @ 1/4 power
Trigger: 7D’s built in transmitter
Post process
- Contrast, fill light, blacks and exposure adjusted in Adobe Camera Raw
- Clean up, curves and levels adjustments in PS
- Dodging and burning
- Hue and Saturation adjustments
- Color balance
- Added noise to get more texture
Weekend is on its way =)Â Cheers!
