Flash Journal

I'm learning how to use off-camera flash, strobist style. This journal will help me keep track of what I learned.

Licor 43 part 2

1 LP160 in 70x70 softbox behind subject. 1 LP160 with DIY straw grid under subject, pointing at softbox. 1 YN560 with lumiquest III softbox in front of subject. Both Lumopro LP160's triggered by RF602

After a few attempts I managed to make this product photo. Shot handheld and therefore not tacksharp. Still room for improvement. Find this kind of photography a bit clinical, should use some props. 1 LP160 in 70x70 softbox behind subject. 1 LP160 with DIY straw grid under subject, pointing at softbox. 1 YN560 with lumiquest III softbox in front of subject. LP160's both triggered by RF602.

Added 2 secondhand Lumopro LP160's to my flash gear. Great deal at €75 a piece. Looking to get a Lumopro LP621 mini boom stand and some extra gels.

Great gift

Today I got a 16" beauty dish from a friend.

Bought a standbagger grab n go model 6.

based on instructions by Joe Mcnally.

Bought a polystyrene head to practice lighting. Taking selfportraits meant too many variables for a consistent picture. Hope this works well.

I ordered a 60x90 softbox but a mislabeled 70x70 arrived. Doesn't matter though. Was hoping a grid was included, but it wasn't. Contacted the shop that sold me the softbox, they promised to send one.

Now testing if the Manfrotto MagicArm - superclamp combo is a good way to put the softbox under an angle.

Update 8/6: free grid arrived. yay!
