Now that I've finally got my hands on some lighting equipments, gave it a quick shot on a few random objects I found in my room.

First impression of the lights is that they are humongous to carry around, the light stands are even heavier than my already heavy tripod
Not to speak the strobe to be heaps heavier than a SB800.

Now I dont really know where I can use these, my place has not much room, and need to find a place for hire I guess.


Anyway, here are some quick samples from the trial shoot:
Setup is a huge softbox and a not so good reflector + SB800 on the other side (had to just open up a silver umbrella for this)

1/4 power from strobe 1/160 @ f/16


1/4 power from strobe + 1/16 SB800 -- 1/500 @ f/11


FULL power from strobe + 1/16 SB800 -- 1/80 @ f/16
From this one it seems the both black objects are absorbing too much light and I need to bump the power and slow down the shutter in order to get a right exposure, otherwise, it only shows the front element of the sunglass and not having any other details. It is evident here that you still have trouble viewing the whole frame of the sunglass.


Let the harsh C&C begin~

the things your photographic look cool so it's hard to tell

but from what i see it looks very good

the glasses is a standout

why dont you use the other strobe instead of the sb800

I ran out of spaces, thats why

This is the setup, my room is just too small. Note the huge softbox took away half my space!!

thats one crazy softbox did you get that with the package?

ill tell you why the botom bit of the sunglases aint showing

you have a black card under it it will absorb the light

you can either change the angle of the softbox so it hits sunglasses side on but parralel

or use a white background
