I had no one to help me out with a photo tonight so I decided to take a little self portrait. After I took the photo I really like how my strobe was the focus of the photo. I personally don't like taking photos of myself so I'd rather hide my face and give the focus to my beautiful Alien Green Strobes.

I am working up an idea but the quality and control of light is critical so I have done some test shots today using my limited stobist skills.
Set up:
580EXII on tripod directly to left of sitter, fired remotely using canon ST-E2
Daughters2&3 are holding my filter relfector in front and the strobe is snooted with my trusty black foam snoot.
(umbrella and stand are on my birthday wish list)
Black relfector cover is hanging over the clothes airer to eliminate as much as possible the off white wall.
Canon 30d lense 50mm f1.4
shot at 1/60 sec f/9.
Flash is dialled down -1/3
I have adjusted the white balance slightly otherwise these shots are straight out of the box.
considering my assistants are aged 9,5 and 3 I am pretty happy with the results, any technical guidance welcomed
This was taken while helping a friend do some portrait shots for another friend. She had never used any type of lighting equipment before so I decided shooting black on black would be a good way to see the effects of each light as we made adjustments. This shot has four lights. One AB-800 in a large softbox camera left 45 degrees to subject, A Nikon SB-800 in a small softbox camera right for fill and two more snooted SB-800s to provide rim or edge effect on the subject . All strobed were fired via SkyPorts.
Testing out some fancy strobe lights
Single Bowens Espirit GM250 head placed directly behind the subject, with some photoshop curving.
Had a Photoshop class with Tim Buerger today.
Worked on some of the photos I did in a previous strobe lesson in Minato Mirai, Yokohama. Now it feels like the lesson is complete... from the shooting to the post-production.
I was never a huge fan of flashes and non-natural light but I really like the results of this class... time to practice!

Black & white
Taken individual photo keeping one slave flash in front of the face triggered through slave unit.
Attached both the photos in PS
Strobist info: D300s on long exposure, subject is exposed by the flash test button on the SB600.
Appart from corpping and colour correction, no Photoshop has been used in creating these.
From MIT Strobe Project class.
A couple people asked me for additional detail, so here goes. This was shot in Doc Edgerton's lab at MIT in about 1978 in a course then taught by Charlie Miller. The rifle was of a basic single shot variety (don't know the caliber). The strobe--as I recall an air gap strobe with about a 1 microsecond flash-- was set off by a microphone attached to a triggering device with a variable delay. The current from the microphone spikes when the advance shock wave passes over it. (It's very obvious when you see a silhouette style of bullet photo; I'll post one of those if I can dig it up.) You could actually adjust the delay by eye to get the bullet in the right position. In a dark room, you can see the frozen bullet when the strobe fires.
2 strobes; bottom and behind with diffusers. The one behind has a shoot-through umbrella as well.
