Nissin Di622 + Homemade photobox(softbox)
I used a D80 with commander mode to trigger a Nissin Speedlite Di622 thats to the right(in front of me) which is in my homemade photobox, but i reversed it so the flash was inside. I tried to use my photobox the other way around. Instead of having light from outside I put a flash in it and it worked like a nice softbox :)
Our godparents, who were still living in Saudi at the time, came to visit during (or shortly after) the Gulf War. They let us try on their gas masks and pose for pictures. Can't remember if they had been evacuated or if this was just a normal repatriation trip. So anyway, this would have been 1990 or '91. Probably '91.

This was a tricky one - we were trying to light the inside of the mask with red, but since the eye ports were on different planes, I wound up having to use two lights - one for each eye.
The main light has a green gel, a grid and a short snoot.
The eye lights have red gels, and are snooted very tightly with cinefoil.

Studio-Foto einer SchMS der Russen, baujahr 1985.
Wurde von Soldaten verwendet die mit optischem Gerät zu tun hatten, z.B. Geschützmanschaften,Scharfschützen,Panzerbesatzungen etc. (Filter an einem Schlauch, sonst hätte er beim Zielen gestört).
