I am not sure how this hasn't been posted yet, I feel almost semi cool making this thread. But post up your strobist type of picture. Off camera flash or off camera lighting, the sun counts only when you used another light source as well, or you modified the suns light source with a reflector or something.

Oh and post up the information about the picture as well.

I'll start it off with things you guys have already seen but it gets my point across.

2 flashes
Camera left and right of the martini glass, shot through umbrella's 1/4 power triggered by alienbee's cybersync's.

again, 2 flashes, one to the left other to the right. One was at about 35 degrees, the other was at 80 or so. One was shot from directly level to the exhaust tails, other one was above and shot down on them. Don't remember the flash settings, but I think they were 1/8 power and 1/4 power.

Nice work Chris, not crazy about #4, and techni-color look, but great table top lighting on the bottle.

sisforsurfing · 04-02-2009, 02:25 PM

Chris, that stuff isn't even fair in this group, hahaha. The first one is insane how much it brings down the sky. Inspiring me to get another 2 SBs and practice more lighting.

I haven't done much of this recently since I've been all about the available light.
