Too bad I forgot to take a picture of the actual setup. :| Anyway, here's how I arrived at the final images from the previous post:
1.) I picked a location. I knew I wanted to use that light post as a background. So I headed to our second-floor terrace and set up the gear at one end. I set my camera to expose for the background. The right side of the frame was fairly empty, but it's ok. That's where I'll be sitting.
2.) The right side of the background was dark so I put a flash in my sister's room. I pointed it out the window to light the neighbor's roof a bit. (And you'll also notice it lighting my left shoulder in the final pics.)
3.) I used a playing card on a light stand to set the focus, and to test the key light. I put the light on a Gorillapod wrapped around the window grills, camera right. I gelled it CTO to match the light post.
4.) And here's a shot with the key light off to show how dark it was.
And that's it! Here's the finished product. :)
