Dude seriously why you go out of your way to make your shoots so complicated?
Just shoot with the one camera you know best.
No in-body stabilisation? I'm nearly 72 and I've just taken a handheld shot at ISO 200 - 1/10s - f4.5 on a 17mm Olympus lens using window light through a vertical blind. To be fair I was sitting down but there no reason why you couldn't use a chair or a monopod to help you. In the studio I'll always sit if possible. It puts you at the same level if the model is seated or lying down.
There's light coming into the room from the window, another time you could spin the sofa around so the light fell on her?
If you're overloading your brain with all these problems how can you enjoy the shoot, make it as easy for yourself as possible.
Greg Williams who shoots Hollywood celebrities will tell you any light will do even the courtesy light in a car will add something. He's on YouTube have a look.
Hi Murray - a lot to respond to here 😅 I don't usually make my shoots so complicated; most of the time I'm just doing my usual easy thing. I don't mind throwing myself a few curveballs every now and again - I think it's good for me. I'm perfectly capable of doing handheld slow shutter work, but in this case I just kind of forgot to consider it because I'm so used to having 6 or 7 stops of stabilization. I was using two cameras I didn't have much experience with and just didn't flip the switch in my brain. Just one of many lessons I learned in this shoot! Thanks as always for your comments.
