Hey Snook, I was very impressed with your portfolio... but was wondering.. what kind of light modifier did you use for all those shots?

Some photos showed bare bulb.. but I wasn't sure if those were actually used or if they were just apart of the picture your trying to make..

And at the most, how many lights did you use when it wasn't just one?

So I went out and spent a bunch of money on 4 AB's and other accessories and you guys and gals are producing some mighty fine photo's with just one light.

I guess PB isn't shedding any tears that I bought 4 AB's and no, I am not selling the extra lights. But I am going to be spending a little more time using just one light for awhile, thanks to this thread.

Nice shots but your white balance is too far off to the blue side.

agreed with above poster. Maybe shoot a grey card next time and custom white balance in camera or in RAW processing.

Took these of my 4 month old nephew over the Christmas weekend. 3 foot Photoflex octobox on an AB800 45 degrees camera left. Photoflex circular reflector for fill camera right.

Post processed:

1) Some healing tool to remove a crease in the burlap.
2) "Midnight Sepia" action

What do you guys think?

Wow! That looks great. Can I ask how many feet away was the octobox away from your nephew?

Well I've been wanting a set of lights for some time now and after looking at the posted images and chat here I'm ready to spend some cash. Hoping to set up a very small studio in a single garage - only 9' wide and 16' long but I'm sure I can make do for one ofr two person shoots.

I actually quite enjoyed many of the outdoor shots and wondered who uses anything other than ABs for this. I'm in the UK so ABs are bnot really an option but I have looked at the Bowens kit (although pretty expensive for the travel pack).

I do quite like the D-Lite 4s but wonder if anyone knows if there is any way to attach these to a portable power supply?

Regards
Jim

Jim - I hear talk that the cheap Innovatronix ($250) works with Elin. It is NOT supposed to work with digital lights according to the manufacturers. May be worth looking into:

Slowe,

It was about 3 feet away, angled down about 30 degrees.

Joe
Many thanks for the link. Certainly looks pretty interesting and for what I plan to do I think this would be fine. Gives me a little more confidence in buying my strobes without worrying anbout also spending a fortune on an external power source.

Now which lights!!! :-)

Nice Joe! Here's the compatibility list:

Since Alien Bees are on there, I might just go with the Innovatronix instead of a Vagabond

I have Innovatronix with my AB. Work great, but I only have chance to use to couple times.

Cheers,

Keith

Unfortunately the innovatronix does not support the pl1250dr lights from Photogenic. I am contemplating a honda EU2000 generator for 2007 if I get enough work to justify it.
