Ninja Kara

Another from the shoot on Sunday. Kara really wanted to do something with a sword, but didn't know what, so we settled for this.

Three light setup for this one. One 580exII into a silver brolly camera right, model rear, for hair light/separation. One 580exII into a brolly box camera left as the main light, and one SB26 model left aimed at the black jumper for separation from the dark background.

    Very cool looks like an ad for a TV show, Does the sword have any history we have one around the house that has been handed down for quite some time.

    Thanks :)
    'fraid not Jason. It's a replica, but they do make for good props.

    It's ok Michelle, the sword is as blunt as her wit ;-)
    Don't you start! That's what she wanted to wear, but we conveniently don't have one ;-)

    Eek, a Ninja! Looks great, though. I love that little point of light on the edge of the sword...

    The little sparkle is an effect of the bare flash camera left used to illuminate the jumper a bit for separation. Worked out nicely in that respect.

    My thoughts too. Uma Thurman, eat your heart out!
