Studio light problems
Hello all,
I've just started exploring portraiture. I've been a bit puzzled by the results. When I take a picture, there's a gray shadow showing at the bottom of the picture, when shot in landscape, and on the right, when shooting portrait (because I turn the camera counter clockwise). I'm just including that last bit to inform you guys, that it's basically always in the same location on the exposure. I've tried using different lenses, but the result remains the same. The only thing I've tried, that has been somewhat successful, is to lower the shutter speed from 1/200 to 1/160. But that shouldn't be necessary, as the flash sync on my 5D MkII, should support 1/200. I've obviously tried turning the lights, and tried all combos of f/stop on the studio lights.
Can anyone shed some light on this, please. It's driving me crazy. Any inputs would be much appreciated.
For reference, I'm attaching two pictures that shows what I mean. For further reference, here are the details about the equipment I've used:
Canon EOS 5D MkII, Canon 24-105 IS L-series lens (no filter, but lens hoos attached), Elinchrome D-Lite 4it the supplied soft boxes.
