The Beast!
My brand new (to me) White Lightning Ultra 1800, next to the ailing Sunpak Auto 522 that it's replacing... Sadly the Sunpak's cutoff thyristor burned out, leaving it forever stuck on full power (though it still works fine otherwise). Even though I still need to buy reflectors I got a fire-sale deal on this monolight!
Strobist: One Sunpak 622 at 1/4 power gelled 3/4 CTO fired into a silver umbrella camera right. One Sunpak 522 with a Strobist-style cardboard snoot (though mine's made with a beer box, rather than a cereal box) at 1/32 power aimed at the White Lightning. No Photoshop aside from tweaking levels in ACR.
