Show us your lighting setups - Part 1

[kusircidomo]

if onli 1 light imho it will be better to put the light in the centre. secondly, you should have post them better.

Thanks.. it was 2 lights from 2x 580EXII one left and one right.
as for the pose this was actually casual photo shoot, so I let them pose as free as they want to. Considering the event was full day event like I had mentioned at earlier post. Everyone must be very tired. But having them smiles after all its something amazing.

Thanks

Hey , I think you did well considering the circumctances .
They were all inching up to pose for you !
Better light shapers probably better results ...
But you did well !

thanks bro... yes.. they're all want to go home ASAP after the dinner since they still have to fly the next morning. Serving those demanding passengers

I'm still considering, researching and saving some money to get better/proper set up than current I have. I hope could find something suits me.

Thanks again.

From last year photo shoot for Cathay Pacific flight attendant in Hong Kong.

Used 2 580EX II left and right thru umbrella fired with PW Plus II

Apologize for the one on left didnt fire

The photo and the subjects look cute! I say that positively ... looks like they enjoyed themselves! :thumbsup:

sry guys, reposted this just in case jchan & kel cudnt see it..hehe

Yup, the Skyport was connected to my body's PC sync port and ST-E2 on the hotshoe..

Most wireless triggers has a jack to allow you to connect a sync cord to the camera if there's no hotshoe.

ohh i see, what if i'm using the Yongnuo rf602 trigger & rcver? is it possible to be using the both the skyport & rf602 tgther?

First, you have to make sure that your camera has a PC sync terminal.
I am not sure about the Yongnuo trigger but let's assume if it can only be triggered from hotshoe.
You put the Yongnuo trigger to hotshoe on cam. Connect skyport trigger using supplied 2.5mm to PC sync cable to your camera. It will work.

Ahh~ i see! am using 30d, guess it shud have pc sync term.
Thanks fr e clarification!

[eleveninth]

just started to read up about stobist from strobist.blogspot.com and i stumped upon this thread and i must say.. very very inspiring shots from j-chan especially. Looking to learn alot more from you guys.

I'm looking to buy my first wireless flash trigger. Would the phottix aster suffice?

why not the atlas? range goes further then the pocket wizards plusII and reliability looks good. if u do a google i think there's a review from red dot photo.

I enjoy this whole lighting section in the Forum...I own and use more than a few modern systems but I have been having a lot of fun lately using an old (30 yrs +) Photogenic Studiomaster II system for the last year or so in my Guam studio..:bsmilie: Here are a couple of pics from my blog...http://snakephoto.blogspot.com/2010/07/new-cameraold-studio-flash.html

Cheers

I surrender.......... I admit that I have been a closet strobist for years without anyone in CS finding out .....

Everything normally hidden in a Lowepro Omni Traveller bag ..... I usually tell folks that 'its nothing... just a couple of old lenses and chocolate bars inside'
