how to set up a studio setting

First we had to thread a pole through the white paper, then we had to set the stands up by making sure they were straight  and level with each other. This picture is of me and Nicole leveling the stands to make the the right level. 

This is me making sure the stands are level with each other, straightening them out to make sure the paper is level with the other side. We did this to make sure that the paper, was okay and checked if there was any rips in the paper.

This is a picture of me and Nichole undoing the roll of the white paper, after we checked that the roll was okay.

After me and Nichole, undid the roll, we had to put  some weights onto the the paper so that it didn't crinkle up, and to make it more stable.

These two photographs were of me and Nichole doing the stands for the lighting set up. We did this really easily making sure the stand was level. The picture above is a close up of me tightening the lighting stand before putting the light on the top.

This is me putting the light together on the stand the first picture is of me screwing the light into the stand. The second image is me putting the lighting cap onto the lights. This was alright but I put it on the wrong way at first until I realised that the hole was on the top when it was suppose to be on the bottom.

These 3 pictures are of me doing the finishing  the lighting off, what I had to do first was to establish were to put the umbrella, I then poked it through the hole, as you can see in the second picture. I had to tighten the screw so that it stayed in place. I then leveled it to the right height which I thought to do it at eye level.

This is Nichole sorting the other lightening out. what she had to do was put the soft box onto the light by twisting it on in a certain way. this was fairly simple to do.

This is me and Nichole checking the plugs and getting them prepared for the lighting we had to untangle them, and use an extension cord to make it easier to handle with.

This picture is me looking at the voltage of whats in the plug to make sure its the right one if it isn't the right voltage it could blow up the lights which wouldn't be good. We had to change one of the voltages because it was a 10 amp and the other one is only a 5 amp.

With checking the plugs we first put the extension into the lights before we plugged it in, we then checked the plug to see if it was okay and if the fuse was high enough, The last picture is us both putting the plug into the switch. Before I put the wires into the plug socket I checked to make use that the light was switched off and the everything was off before I switched it on, this has to be done so that there was no electric shock.

This is me and Nichole checking the lights testing them to see if they are okay and working together. As you can see the red button that is the test button and the first white button is for the infer red, which triggers off the other lights. We did a couple of test just to be sure they were working.

This is a flash reader. What it does is it picks up the flash from the lights, then when you take a picture on the SLR it lets you what the aperture should be. We did a trail test, before we took the finishing picture of Nichole.

This is the final shot of Nichole after we put all the lighting and the equipment up, I think this is a really good photograph and the lighting is really well lit and I think the flash reader gave out a good reading. Because we got a good end result.
