This is what a big budget photo shoot looks like. Really just me and my son playing around.
One speedlite in a softbox. Camera on a tripod. In case you didn't know...
Strobist info:
- 580 EXII @ 1/4 24mm trough softbox
- 430 EXII @ 1/8 105mm through snoot
- triggered with Phottix Tetra
Take a look at the shot.
This photo was one of three using only one Profoto AcuteB 600R together with a 5 foot softbox Octa. And the available light of course. Shot indoors near the reception desk of Filmhuset in Stockholm, Sweden for a guy starting up a new publishing house for childens literature.

This portrait uses the Profoto AcuteB 600R and a 5 foot softbox Octa as main light, camera right, and a white handheld reflector camera left (the reception staff was very helpful and assisted me). The ceiling of the room is some kind of copper material, so it gives away nice reflections from the bokeh-friendly lights hanging all over the place.

Bored...so I'm playing with composite images in Photoshop :)

Not my idea, but I can't link to the original because I can't find it now.
Took 25m of black duct tape, small piece of cardboard, scissors and ~3h of my life.

left it a bit late for the reflections of the sunset to reflect off the car so had to push the ISO up to 2500

I made a homemade softbox for my SB-800 using some cardboard, tinfoil, paper and duct tape.
Dallas, my most-photographed subject, was nice enough to help me test it out.

Shoot description is on the blog post:
For years, I have used umbrellas and softboxes for shooting portraits, still lifes, and macro photography. When I am shooting in the studio, I prefer to use softboxes because they are easier for me to control the spill light.
When I am shooting in the field and need a large diffuse light source, I tend to use umbrellas more because they are easier to transport and faster to assemble. However, if it is a windy day, I prefer to use the softbox because it does not sail like a kit on windy days.
My largest umbrella has a 40-inch diameter. My largest softboxes have a 14-inch diameter. In general, I prefer umbrellas to softboxes because umbrellas are more cost effective. A 40-inch umbrella cost much less than a 40-inch softbox. Also, I find umbrellas more versatile. When I am shooting video, it is easier for me to use a continuous light source with an umbrella than a softbox.
All my umbrellas were made of a reflective material. I could only obtain diffuse lighting by bouncing the light off the inside of the umbrella. I recently purchased a 30-inch shoot through umbrella made of a translucent material. I can now obtain diffuse lighting by either bouncing the light off the inside of the umbrella or by shooting through the translucent umbrella. When I shoot through the translucent material, the results are like shooting with a large 30-inch softbox. The only differences are the lower cost and not being able to control the spill light.

I build a softBox...and I use it :).
I follow this steps, but i use a normal light annnndddd i don't use a regular swith, a use a Dimmer Switch, so i can regulate the light ^^.
Hice la SoftBox basándome en los pasos que hay en ésta página...no es necesario saber inglés, las fotos lo dicen todo. Sin embargo usé un bombillo común y corriente, de esos de 100W y en lugar de usar un switch de encender/apagar, preferí usar uno tipo Dimmer, que puede ser más costoso, pero nos permite regular la intensidad de la luz. Pero cuidado, las luces ahorradoras de energía (esas blancas como fluorecentes) no son compatibles con los Dimmer y se pueden estropear.
Costos:
Roseta (base para enroscar el bombillo): U$ 0.4
Bombillo: U$ 0.5
Switch dimmer: U$ 5.5
Luz blanca ahorradora de energía que prefería al final no usar: U$ 4
Total: U$ 10.4
Sometimes a folded piece of A3 paper just doesn't cut it, so I decided to make a sturdier "softbox". It was pretty easy to make, 4 pieces of card with foil on the inside taped together and a few layers of tissue paper taped to the front. Its held onto the flash (not very securely) by a rubber band. I scored along the middle of two opposite sides so that it folds down quite small. The front is about the size of an A4 sheet.
Strobist data:
Radio controlled SB-25 with 1/4 CTO gell in a soft box camera left.
