    Its good to see how you lay out a shot, instead of just telling how a shot is done.
    Thanks

    I am doing this next week. Trying to do it with as little equipment as possible. I too use the CLS but find the preflash sometimes causes blinking from the subject. Looks like you used a sync cord instead?

    Hi David.
    Quick question, are you using Nikon’s Camera Control Pro 2.3 on your laptop? If so have you had any write/cache issues using it with your D700 as mine is having some when hooked up to my Acer One.

    I could have easily used a soft box, however the strobe was working double duty. Not only was light passing through the panel, light from the strobe was adding just a bit of light to the background. A full diagram of the set up is at my blog.

    I have plans on a Small Strobes, Big Results workshop in Texas later this year. DT

    Good video – I’m curious, however, as to why you wouldn’t utilize a softbox in this situation (preferably one made for speedlights)? It seems it’d be easier to set up and just as adaptable/portable.

    I wish I could make your workshop! Come on down to Texas again sometime. :-)
