Here’s part 2 (of 5) of my little pan­or­amic pho­to­graphy tutorial series. It shows you how I use Adobe Light­Room 3 to post-​process the RAW images shot in Part 1.

The title of this post refers to some­what of a hype of recent years — use a bunch of small, port­able flashes to light a scene in an inter­est­ing, unusual way.

Well, call­ing this a “hype” is prob­ably too pejor­at­ive as there are tons of bril­liant images com­ing out of this philsophy. Just check the blog of the “father” of stro­bism David Hobby.

So I wanted to try it out at some stage, and decided to do so with this group shot of last year’s uni­ver­sity vol­ley­ball team (that I used to be in, but not any­more for lack of time). I used two flashes situ­ated about two meters to the left and right of the cam­era, and triggered them wire­lessly from the cam­era. As this is prob­ably the simplest setup ima­gin­able, I don’t dare call­ing this a great sto­bist set-​up, but at least it’s in the spirit ;-)
