Post your only 1 light setups
Well I'm waiting to receive my first strobe. I've been learning online different setups with one light and what can be achieved. and thought hey lots of MM members have cool photos and what not lets see them. Thanks Angie Only 1 light setups allowed they can have any type of modifiers and reflectors are also allowed. This thread is for informative purposes. So anyone who's is nice enough to post your contribution is greatly apreciated. Jan 10 09 07:11 pm Link I look forward to the responses as well. I just purchased a strobe last month (AB800) and an umbrella, have yet to test it out though.

Jan 10 09 07:18 pm Link Lights can be expensive but reflectors can come cheap. Now that you have your first light don't forget to get a nice large reflector to go with it because you are going to need it. Jan 10 09 07:19 pm Link my current favorite in my port:  EDIT: Quantum Q flash, diffuser removed. I play with the f-stop and get a few images that I like. My guess is this was 1/40@f11.

You can get roughly the same, as far as that goes, with a soft box. However SB's are usually a lot more expensive, and setting up and breaking down a non-pop up one on site is a pain in the ass.
