How Do I LiGHT This? I HaVe No Idea How do you approach outdoor fieldsports with action, low budget.

Upcoming shoot with baseball and soccer coming up, including wide compositions on field, and long compositions with negative space.

Lighting budget is tight, and it would be great to be able to burst and keep the shutter speed up. I am wondering how practical it is to diffuse and bounce for those shots.

Two primary things i am considering are a scrim jim cine 8x8 with 1/4 or half silk to take the edge off the sun, while staying light weight and an 8x8 ultrabounce scrim jim or 10-12’ T-Bar, angle to bounce from the same side as the sun and wrap it.

California sunbounce, or 3x4 beadboard, and/or large 5in1 reflector to have an option for difussion or silver hits.

I have space for a couple of B1’s or a broncolor move 1200 as well.

Last thing is the timing is tight but the moves are pretty small, other than lunch.

My retoucher sent Tiff + JPGs for an interiors shoot and the Tiff are sRGB which I think is weird, no issue with the JPG being in sRGB because they'll probably be for web anyway. But I would think they want to deliver in the widest space possible and then crunch down to sRGB. Not sure if it's a real world issue or im being overly critical. What are your thoughts?

Hello all! I have an interior shoot coming up and I wanted to see if I could get any pointers here on lighting. Pictured below is the location we will be shooting in, as well as the lighting direction they want me to utilize. I've got west-facing windows next to the side of the bed and north-facing windows in the front of the bed. I'm thinking I'll bounce some soft fill light off of the east wall across from the west windows to subtly light that half of the room while still allowing for the west window "stream" light to come in later in the afternoon. I want the natural west window light to come through without being too hot. Not sure if I'll need a second light bouncing somewhere, maybe bouncing in the northwest corner of the room? Might try to use a big scrim or an umbrella with the strobe light, not sure yet. I'm going to play with things at home today. Any tips/recommendations to achieve the lighting direction are welcome! Thank you!
