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...
Will this cord work with any other radio trigger? Besides a PW? very cool stuff btw...
A truly inspiring thread. Thanks to all who participated.
I'm relatively poor so I thought I would be just kidding myself using the one good Sunpak light I have. Now I've got to find some used stands, umbrellas, softboxes, beauty dishes, light panels, and portable power bricks. I ordered my first DSLR last week, it'll be getting here sooner or later.
Ive bookmarked this so damned you if it falls down to the archive! These were from 2of my latest gigs... on #1 its pretty straightforward lighting... a softbox to our right . he second is an flash shoot in an bigass reflector (gold+silver)... simple also.
For the one light setup, would this reflector be good?
Setup is similar to some explained in here, where the key light (AB800) with shoot through umbrella feather on subject and then bounce from the other side from reflector.
Natural lighting from behind(cloudy, dim 8pm sky) and a flashgun through a 32" softbox around 45 degrees to the right of model's body, about 7 feet away and about 1 foot higher than head. Her hair created a natural gobo
one AB800 with softbox at a steep 45, rotated to kick light behind the model....
the $12 4x8 tileboard on the ground not only saves my paper but it kicks a nice amount of light back up and makes it look a little less abstract and... seamless. it kind of anchors it to reality and makes it feel more like a set.
i'll retire it for some plexi soon i think.
i really enjoy the posts here - thanks to everyone for sharing!

Philip... Big fan of your's for a few years now. Glad to see you on here. I truly hope to learn some insight about how you do things in the studio. I emailed you once a few months ago for advice, even.
This is one of my other experiments both in using a studio light outside and in post processing as I normally do very little. The shot was taken in daylight with the 800ws on full power.
