While attending the NASA Insight rocket launch recently, we have our first opportunity to set up a remote camera to photograph the nighttime launch. Norm goes over his gear used for his setup and the excitement of leaving that gear so close to a rocket in hopes to capturing a photo of the blast off!
Shot and edited by Norman Chan. Thanks to Trace Dominguez from Seeker for helping with filming!
Note that Chan uses a Miops Camera Trigger to capture the event, the same trigger I use to capture lightning. Chan also utilizes one of Bryan's favorite (and cheapest) accessories that he keeps in all of his camera bags.[Sean]

In Ep 113 of Two Minute Tips, David Bergman shows you how to use on-axis fill to enhance your pictures without changing the overall feel.
Note: In this example, the framing and distance to subject lead to a very small catchlight in the subject's eyes. For tighter subject framing, the circular catchlight caused by the ring light would be more obvious. Some people like the circular catchlight while others do not. Be sure to gauge how your subject feels about the circular catchlight before using a ring light (showing examples can help).
I used to own a dedicated ring flash, but it was so cumbersome to set up that I rarely used it and eventually sold it. Now I prefer to use a RoundFlash Magnetic Ringflash Adapter paired with an on-camera Speedlite. [Sean]

An advanced, step-by-step guide to creating Creative Profiles in Adobe Camera Raw for use in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 10.3 and later, Lightroom Classic 7.3 and later, and Lightroom CC 1.3 and later.

In this video, photographyer Miguel Quiles demonstrates techniques that can help you create soft light in a small studio environment. How does he do it? Pretty simple – he bounces his soft box off of a large V-flat resulting in very soft light on his subject. Keep in mind that the dynamics of a small space work well for creating soft light because there are so many nearby surfaces for light to bounce off of, assuming that the walls are light colored (and hopefully neutral colored so as not to impart a color cast).
However, if your goal is to create a portrait with lots of contrast, shooting in a small studio space can be very problematic. Because of the nearby surfaces, limiting the amount of spill light that lands on your subject can be difficult. In those cases, gridded modifiers, black flags and black-out fabric may be needed to achieve the desired high contrast resuls. [Sean]
