Calvin, I love your lights! I've been telling Papa we should get a set.

 

I told you Rudy...I have those shop lights we can just tie onto some sticks and put them in the ground...poof...light rigs

Yeah, I want some too

 

Let's try the shop lights!

 

wow mz you guys parked really close together at that show! lol

thanks, rudy!

off camera flash doesn't have to be expensive. i got all my wireless triggers (1 trigger and 3 receivers) for about 3 bills. that's nothing compared to pocket wizards. they're suuuper reliable, too. and i use manual flashes (and one 580exII). the vivitar 285HV's are great work horses. at only $90 a pop, they get the job done!

 

That's a nice set up for a great price!

What I found and wanted was about a grand. I can't afford to put so much money into something I'm not making money from. I should do what you're doing plus I need to upgrade my flash to the 580 anyway. I could use the old one as a slave, I think.

Thanks for the suggestion, Calvin!

 

yeah we worked with the space...but we really had enough space to walk through the cars.

 

and you can do plenty with 2 strobes. 3 are nice, but 2 is doable.

 

Update~

 

Heres the originals but some details were lost resizing the pictures.

 

rudy wins!

 

yeah he won lol

 

this isn't for the contest (obviously since it's over). just thought it came out cool.

 

^ Nice shot, but why is the paint match on your lip off so much?

IIRC, in other pictures it matches.

 

Lighting....
