Metz Flash 52 AF-1 Digital with softbox
From a shoot a couple of months back. A 36" x 47" gridded softbox mounted on a Aurora Genus 600W strobe. Triggered with Phottix Atlas II.
Treated myself to a new softbox and thought I'd try it out at home before using it at a reception next week!
It didn't go quite as I planned.
Then he leaned on it and it crashed over onto the fish tank and frightened all the fish! Luckily the fish and the flash survived!
This shows how my DIY softbox is attached to a light stand and a flash. Not quite sure if this still qualifies as DIY though - I certainly couldn't have done it alone.
The idea for using a foodcover as a basis for a softbox came from emarc, thanks for that!! >Collapsible softbox build instructions<
German strobists can use the Globetrotter Food Cover.
Strobist info: Single SB-24 (1/4 power or so) pointed at ceiling and wall

Shot taken with Nikon D300 at ISO 200 32mm at f11 1/160 in studio lighting 5500K
This was 5 lights sources including a 80cm silver reflector. Key light was a softbox to left just above eye high and set to f8. Umbrellas to the left and right rear to give the beauty lighting side/back lighting from both sides and these set to f11 which we also set the camera to. Lastolite HiLite set to f11 the same as the exposure of the camera so the highlights were not burned out.
If you look closely you’ll notice a slight fade from left to right as we used just one studio head in the HiLite and were using it in the horizontal more as 7’x6’. Ideally, we should have used 2 studio lights to light the HiLite from both sides. However, the slight fade actually works at least in screen monitor mode so for now we’ll keep this idea/set up.
The sweet spot is very narrow to get an ideal lighting so some shots in the shoot were less than idea. The small sweet spot is not helped in a smaller room as even a 3” change in position of the model can make or break the ideal lighting. A turn of the head also changes the ideal look.
Our main lighting ratio was 2:1 with the hot sides of the model one stop higher than the key light. The far camera right lower side though was f4 so the light ratio here was 4:1 against the key and 8:1 against the rear rear/side lighting. What we’ve got here then is a 5 light source set-up that means the light rations are more complex. Depending then which way the model is looking produces a light ratio varying from 2:1 to 8:1.
LightRoom 2.5 was used to convert the RAW and to slightly boost the contrast and colour. Photoshop CS4 was then used to soften the skin just a little and to enhance the highlights a little more.

This is my softbox design that I have been working, its a compilation of features that I have pickup from others designs.
This has made a big difference in the lighting of my macro photos, they aren't as washed out with light as they used to be.
I would love suggestions as to how to improve the design and am happy to share any info also.
I may have forgot to mention I have a Summa Cutter, which is an electric vinyl cutter that can also cut cardboard. (if you youtube summa cutter, you'll see what I mean)
