thought i liked this pic quite alot and will share alittle bit of simple info here
white balanced was set to cloudy to adjust for the warmness that i wanted. flash was gelled with 1/4 cto to retain some skin tone colour and other settings were iso 800, f5, 1/80s.
shot at orchard central with permission hehehe
besides the lighting i did some shadow/highlights adjustments that i found it really really useful. I would suggest trying that tool if you have not done so. Image-adjust-shadow/highlights :thumbsup:
the rest can be found at the webby below. just a few to share after a long period of lull lol
sharing simple setup for food shoot
usually to light from the side or at an angle from the back. i choked up the umbrella alittle close for some shots to create a softer light to simulate window light but not for this shot below which was done with the shoot through umbrella inversed.
didnt have time to shoot the setup but here's my noobie drawing to help illustrate the idea
settings were at iso200, f8 1/80 or 60 and 105mm hope that helps!

Its possible. Its a matter of what kind of light modifiers you have and where you are placing them.
I am wondering...

Elinchrom Quadra at lowest power (8.2Ws) with 1-stop ND gel into 43" convertible umbrella top left, Canon 430EXII with CTO gel at 1/64th power 105mm zoom behind 2 o'clock position. Quadra triggered via Skyport, 430EXII triggered via ST-E2. (The ST-E2 doesn't seem to sync with the Quadra even with self-learning preflash option on) Had a lightmeter with me so if I remb correctly, key light was set to the background ambient and rim light slightly less than a stop over. 1/160th, f/1.8, ISO 400, 85mm f/1.8 on 5D2.

I am curious. Why you did not use the 2nd strobe for the Elinchrom Quadra?:think:
I believe you can adjust the power of both strobe individually.

Erm, currently I only have the 2.5m cables, so its not long enough to position as the rim in that setup.. You can't adjust each head individually, its fixed at the 2:1 ratio..
