Strobe

My first testing of remote flash and hommade snoot/gridspot for the upcomming Strobist Boot Camp.

Camera is a Canon 400D with the 430EX II sitting on the floor. Still so much to learn about it all!!

The only photoshop work was cropping and slight level tweek. Does anyone know if this is allowed in the world of the Strobist?

Luke brought his strobe lights to the Ames Camera Club meeting tonight to demonstrate it. I was able to take a couple of shots. It was pretty cool. This isn't the greatest photo but I am starting to understand the benefits of decent lighting. I think I know what I may be saving up for next. The highlights of the meeting was everyone getting to try out the setup with our camera. The low light was watching Luke's camera bouncing across the floor (sorry Luke). Luke, thanks for bringing you equipment.

Group shot from the strobist meet.

The focus assist light worked well for this shot!

Strobist: 2 x SB800 on stands, triggered by PW. Manual Exposure.

Thanks Mickey and Julie for the company. See you next time!

LIGHTING INFO: 580 EX II ON REFLECTORIZED UMBRELLA AT CAM LEFT 45 DEG OF SUBJECT. FULL MANUAL TRIGGERED BY POCKET WIZARD. SEE EXIF FOR EXPOSURE.

Strobist:

Natural, direct sunlight from behind camera left. Hand-held SB-28 fired as 'fill' from either above or below camera (can't remember) at 1/4th or 1/8th power. Random single power cheapo flash in Jack's left hand (approx equivalent of 1/8th SB-28 power)

Very pleased with the result!

someone was manually 'strobing' the light-switch.. really neat light

Fill flash with SB-800, fired with CLS at 1/8 power

I did not have a trigger so this was taken with the flash on camera. I bounced the flash from a white ceiling and in some cases I used a gold diffuser.

...not really, however the flood-lights on top of the roof of Phoenix Greyhound Park presented an opportunity to frame a shot of Camelback Mountain in a very different way...

This was one of those annoying strobe deals, you light and they give everyone epileptic seizures.
