Test pics using a LS2 PJ with Inverted Dome

[espn]

thinking of wrapping the 1/2 the LS w some aluminium foil. cos actually 1/2 of the output is wasted be reflected by te dome to the rear of the photographer.

Wah... pro :thumbsup: go go go, let us know the results.

yeah, i'm doing that. but so far no tests on any sad subject yet... maybe i'll try it tonight on my favourite model. hahaha:bsmilie:

i figured while pointing it upwards, some light is lost by dispersing through the direction facing the photographer. i was thinking of modifying the LS2 with aluminium foil, by sticking them to the side which faces the photographer, thereby reflecting the light forward to the subject.

i kinda of like the results of the indoor shots.
at least it reduces shadows.

however, if a person's face is tilted downwards a little, the subject matter can get a little dark.

anyway still thinking how to transform it to a mobile bowl for soup.

i tried it at work today.

the PJ with the aluminium foil colied round the side facing the fotographer does, of cos, does help reflect more light forward. u can try it and see if u like the effect. i like the fact that more light is thrown forward instead of some being spread towards the fotographer. i like the effect achieved with this little modification.

yet to try it on any human subject... and drat... my dinner tonight with my colleagues is cancelled due to heavy rain.


anyone else would like to try?:thumbsup:

Doesn't it affect you when you do portraits? :think:


Is this post considered useless? Hmmmm wait for Ian to confirm.

i can see it being much more effective in outdoor usage. :thumbsup:
yet to confirm this. will try it when i do get the chance. :bsmilie:

Lemme know on the portrait thing, because one reason I got the LS II was because it saves me the hassle and distraction of tearing my bounce card away from my flash to reposition it.


Ooops another useless post, going to get PM again.

i have finally got down to making the insert to reflect more light back to the front. tried to post pic here but cant. so heres the link to yahoo photos for those who are interested to view.

the insert on fix in the manner shown in the photos cos when id you put in on landscape format, when you switch to portrait mode the orientation will be wrong.

from the tests i have done, it does brighten up subj more and reduce the shadows too

yupz, i'm using my LS2 that way from now on. but using aluminium foil instead of the white card. still unsure how to overcome this problem when shooting in portrait format.:sweat:
