Metz Flash 52 AF-1 Digital with softbox

I placed an orange, a red, and a pink hibiscus flower petal on a mirror to photograph.

Lighting stuff: Lit with a YN560-III in a 24 inch softbox at camera left. Fill light came from a small hand mirror at camera right. The flash, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. I used side lighting in order to create the shadows that reveal shapes and textures.

Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422

One of my final shots for my pet photography class. I now own a softbox and paper backdrop. I want to practice more but Brady and his dad aren't thrilled with studio work. It's very hard to direct a 92-pound dog! But still, he's a pretty good sport (Brady, that is). He's more accepting of bribes than his dad.

This was the first time using a 37" Goxdox octagon softbox that was double diffused. Shot this inside my den at home. Used a smoke layer in post and added a hint of cool tones to the smoke. Vignette added in On1 Effects 10 and all else edited in Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom CC.

Self portrait created for club competition entitled "proverbs and sayings". This is a composite of 4 images (I hope you don't really think I have an egg inside my head!).

1) Me with spoon in setting

2) Setting without me

3) Close up of egg and yolk using exactly the same lighting set-up

4) Close up of top of egg upturned using same lighting set up.

These 4 layers were then intertwined in Photoshop CS2 mainly using layer masks with a few additional bits of jiggery pokery.

I tried using my 17-55mm lens first but just couldn't get the angle I wanted so used my Sigma 10-20mm lens to achieve the results I wanted.

Strobist information (see set up in other photo farm5.static.flickr.com/4072/4435115174_8cc50208a5_b.jpg (not sure how I link this properly) SB800 Manual mode in 24inch softbox high camera left attached using 10m cable to camera. This then triggered SB600 low camera right also set to manual mode also in 24 inch softbox.

I wouldn't dare eat them because I know nothing about which fungi are edible. But they smell delicious! Do you see the strand of spider silk stretching from the right-most mushroom to the large one in the center? It was quite dark when I made this photo just minutes before a thunderstorm.

Tried how my new 80cmx80cm softbox would do for a low key portrait. Actually, I think, should have positioned it a bit further back.

I needed a softbox for the weekend (at least a small one) and I wasn't able to check one out from school, so I made one.

Made from black/white matte board, gaffers tape, cheap white fabric, velcro, and superglue.

It extends 8" from the flash with a lighting surface of 10"x10", and takes the flash down by 3-stops.

I had originally planned to make it collapsible, but I couldn't figure out a good mechanism. Though, the diffuser cloth is adjustable/removable with velcro.

Lit by my Canon 430EX Speedlite with my older DIY mini-softbox at 4:30 high.

An English lockdown provides ample time to check out different looks with the new softbox. Flash shooting through a smallish softbox above subjects face. Witha second flash on low power from bottom right providing fill.

Inspired by the work of Kai Boet (Kai Böttcher), I tried my own version of his style.

Strobist info: One Yongnuo flash in a 60x60cm gridded softbox cam left and one behind model for rim light. Triggered via YN-622C.

I used as whitebalance bulb and some orange gels to get a more realistic light between background and foreground. Otherwise the complete picture looked just orange.

Still playing around with my DIY flashes and learning along the way.

One thing I realised is that although umbrella diffusers are handy the damn things show up in any reflective surface. So I constructed myself a diffuser screen to act as a kind of softbox, (white cotton sheeting stapled across a large picture frame). Works pretty well.

Here I just played around with the idea of the original problem of the umbrella reflection and pinned a black cardboard cutout of an umbrella shape on the diffuser screen.

I quite like it :-)

Take one aluninium tray. The type you use for BBQ. Cut a rectangular hole for a cardboard holder for the flash. Cover the tray with white trash bag. And Presto! A $100 softbox made for under $1. The range isn't great cause the light bounces to the top and then back down and out, but for portraits, it works a treat. You can suffer from a slight blue tinge in your photos due to the colour of the tray but you can adjust for that in Photoshop or on camera white balance.

Another attempt at some droplet collisions this evening. Focus isn't the best in this one but the collision is getting there. I may have another go later in the week!

Metz Flash 48 AF-1 Digital with softbox

J'ai fait une belle dépense cette semaine, je me suis procuré une "softbox" pour donner une autre dimension à certains portraits que j'ai l'intention de faire cet hiver.

J'ai porté mon choix sur le Lastolite Ezybox Hot Shoe Kit 60cm x 60cm (24' x 24') , que je vais utiliser avec mes flashes Nikon (SB-900 et SB-600).

La photo ci-dessus ne devait être qu'un simple test, mais en voyant la simplicité, l'efficacité de l'image et les beaux grands yeux de ma fille, je ne pouvais pas faire autrement que publier cette photo.

François Meehan

===============================

A cool expense this week; I have now a nice Lastolite Ezybox Hot Shoe Kit 60cm x 60cm (24' x 24') softbox to use with my Nikon Flashes (SB-900 and SB-600).

I purchased it to give another dimension to some of the portraits I will be doing this winter.

The picture above was meant to be a test. When I saw its simplicity and the beautiful eyes of my daughter Val, I thought I had no choice but to publish it.
