Still editing through 1000's of fashion week photos
i found these that demonstrate nice lighting with my softbox
and sb800 which does a pretty good job compared to a studio strobe

taken with my new d200 and 17-35 lens which i have rigorously tested during fashion week to be a very good camera and lens combo

and her'es a massive crop of me using the softbox backstage

Wendell, did you build the softbox yourself or you bought it somewhere? Its definitely nice lighting output with this.

its a moded softbox

i used a pro foto strobe ring i bought 2nd hand
the actual softbox itself is a cheap brand one from vanbar
and i used a normal flash bracket to attach the sc29 cable to one end and the other end i bolted to the pro foto strobe ring

then i used the centre column from my broken mini benro tripod attached that to the flash bracket for a handle

i did all this modding because i couldnt afford to buy a proper softbox made especially for a speedlight which stores markup

the whole thing cost me $160

unfortunately i dont have more pics of it since i lost the thing(without cable and flash) at fashion week

Wendell all are good shots but I like the softness of #4 best.
