Took this one a while back with a cheap clamp on desk lamp and a black towel for a backdrop. Could be better but I still like it.

These were all done using a single light set up. Just and Alien Bee B800... usually positioned just slightly to camera right and slightly above model.

Nice stuff. Here's a single light set-up in deep shade with sunlight sneaking in as backlight. A canon 580EX Speedlight set on 1/2 power on a Strobe Slipper with a Pocket Wizard for triggering wirelessly. Handheld and diffused through a Westcott softbox...

It's an adapter plate I make that ties a bunch of stuff together just right. You can learn more through links on my website, but here's a picture...

The radio sync makes them work great with extreme telephotos. This is with a 600 and just a taste of short light created by the Slipper...

Thanks Bruce, thats a nifty looking gadget. I've just purchased some RF triggers for my strobes (cheaper ebay ones not PWs) plus an extra nikon sb26 as a hair/background light.
I'll jump on your site to see if it could work in my setup.
Cheers, Dean

Yep, have fun with those little speedlites. There's so much they can do if you use a little imagination. It's importnat to remember that the strobe doesn't always have to function as a key. I hope you folks can stomach a wedding picture. Here's an example of a single light used to suppliment daylight as a 3/4 backlight kicker. I thought it worked well. The strobe was gelled to work well with the sunset color temperature, of course...

I like that approach a lot. I've been battling between "2x 580's + ST-E2 + CP-E3's" vs. "QFlash + Turbo + their softbox and remote head, and reflectors-on-stands".

I'm trying to bridge two worlds: small product photography (bottles, jars, baskets) and my live music type photography, with the Wedding/Candid in when it happens. It would be exclusively on the 1D. I want something that is portable, and, avoids dedication. The product stuff is something I need to do, the band stuff I what I like to do.

The 580's obviously turn into regular on-camera flashes (I use a stroboframe bracket) ...and with two (and large arms) I could do bounce + fill....but the Quantum has a lot of other things going for it (POWER and better automation). I really like the Quantum remote head, that combined with their softbox (60$!) gives you TTL (head not blocked since its remote) and quickly reconfigurable portable flash.

Your slipper bracket (and using the Canon foot for quick removal) is another interesting approach! Leave all the other stuff on the slipper setup, take one flash off and go band mode. Hmm!!!

Thanks to all for all the setups, its hyper-educational...and, please, try to remember "step back and take a setup shot" that's a big help!
