Thanks Paul.
There is no direct light source. There is a window 2 mtr behind me that is on the south. I exposed the pictures with -1 stop.
Then I had to reduced the bright colors (the red whas more red then into the painttube) to -33 for reasonable colors what is close to the figure in reality.
If you can help me with this, i really apreciate it.Marc
If there is a 'problem' Mark it's only the strength of the light scource.
If you do under expose you can kill the red to almost magenta or crimson tones...it has happened to me.
So pehaps you can use the strength of the light to your advantage in a different way.
Shield your model behind something to block the light directly falling on it, and use a pale sheet of paper or maybe grey primed plasticard as a reflector back from the opposite direction and reduce it's intensity?
It maybe worth the trouble and would be cheaper than building a light box as some guys do.
I improvise a studio backdrop with black foamboard sheets under and behind the model, and swing my desklamp over the top.
I photograph in the kitchen when it's dark outside.
Because I use daylight bulbs in my painting lamp, I can underexpose the pic...or move the lamp away..or both.
I hope this may help.
How awful it is when it is too sunny in Northern Europe
Good luck friend, it's good having you back at the bench properly I can tell your arm is a lot better now
