Would you mind sharing your setup.
Here is a cell phone pict of the set up: boxing-setup by Matt Randolph, on Flickr
Bare 42" PLM mounted on Alienbee B800 front center above camera at 1/16 power. 20" softbox on floor below camera at 1/64 power for filling the shadows. Hair light softboxes with 285hv @ 1/2 power left and right of subject for rim light. Shot with Canon XSi and Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 at 17mm, F9, 1/200, ISO 100.
This is really excellent but I would be tempted to use an 8x10 crop and move him to the left in the frame. The extra-dark left side tends to pull my eye off the subject in the centered composition.

Can you tell me what combination of stand and boom arm you're using for the AB800 with the PLM?
Not even sure of the brand, I just ordered the cheapest eBay stand I could find. Works perfect for my needs.
