Ok, THIS is how i do it.....
thanks for sharing Oct 11 07 01:35 am Link FYI....I bought a 380Watt 600VA Cyber Power pack to power my Photogenic Solair PLR500's. If I powered them over 75WS they shut down, and so did the pack. I was thinking of buying a more powerfull unit and even looked into ones made specifically for lighting and there is nothing. Photogenics' circuitry that protects the unit from over-use as well as keeping the constant color is the cause of why I can't power them that way. When I contacted Photogenic about a solution, they said they are in development of a mobile power devise (that is how I got the explaination of why it fails to work with other solutions). Unfortunately, a Honda generator is my only option for the time-being (not too portable). I do have the 320Bs that are powered by batteries (the reason I got them in the first place) but I wish I could get more power. Here's a test of my son with the light about 5.5' away. Granted I didn't do any post-processing asside from adding +.5 stops from RAW. (and yes, I have since given my sensor a Brazilian Wax)  1/250th, f22, ISO 100. Photogenic StudioMax III 320b @ full power using Photogenics battery pack. Oct 11 07 03:27 am Link Sorry...light had straight 7" standard reflector. No soft boxes or what not. Also, 12mm lens (35mm equivilent=18mm). Oct 11 07 03:30 am Link Emily Fine Again wrote: I agree, awesome work Im going to try it. Oct 11 07 03:45 am Link -200 points from Slytherin. And thanks all.  Oct 11 07 03:57 am Link Jim Ewing - if you look at the sun in your pic and come down a bit and to the left - is that dust or an effect from the flair? thanks for a great thread everyone - it's given me some ideas Oct 11 07 12:10 pm Link chitownjeff wrote: It was a hair on the sensor...hence the Brazilian Wax comment. Oct 12 07 01:42 am Link ...tryin 2 think of sumfin intelligent 2 say after absorbin all this newfangled knowledge- all i can say is- mo of the mf'n brotha Cheese, please... jyeah boooooiiiiiiiiiii Oct 12 07 02:19 am Link My question is, is this kinda formula good for the lighting on these type of shots...  This is driving me crazy Oct 12 07 12:01 pm Link ^^^ The above, I imagine the above is late day, sundown-ish, light with a bare bulb of some sort as the additional source besides natural, ISO 100-200, f3.5-f6, +1 (although, I have seen great lighting and clarity out of a 5D or higher at ISO 640 and f10-11)... I dunno, just guessing... the alchemy of it baffles me no matter how I try Oct 12 07 12:07 pm Link Nice tutorial. Thank you.
