Just quick question for you guys

Wondering what method you would use to balance a Ranger RX with tungsten lighting?

I've only really used my Ranger of a day time where Im only mixing with daylight, but Ive got an evening shoot coming up, and the lights on the location are all tungsten.

I'll be shooting through a 135cm octo.

I've considered a gold deflector to add a bit of colour to the flash, albeit, probably a totally different colour and may make things worse.

Or would you suggest a suitable gel? In which case, how are you mounting gels with the Ranger heads?

And my other option is to shoot with flash uncorrected, adjust the WB to compensate for the tungsten lighting, and then use the local adjustment brush in LR4 to warm the WB on the model.

Looks like you'd simply need an 85 or 85b Wratten Filter (85B 5500-3200K Converting type B tungsten film +131 mireds (warming filter)).
that is to say if your Flash bulb is about 5500Kelvins and your Ambient light is about 3200 Kelvins, you'll need to "warm up" that cold daylight 5500 Flash illumination, so that it matches the ambient. Local Photo store should have it. But they way you've mentioned works quite well too.

Ha ha. Your post reminds me of a quote by Groucho Marx. He stated that he wasn't sure if he wanted to be a member of a club that would have him as a member:lol::lol:

What lighting system?

That's exactly the room size I'm working with.

curious that you can get it.

I have tried with 1 strobe without any modifier. I face it to opposite subject wall, which mean the light is bounce from the wall to subject. I get pure white background, but somehow the subject skin tone was also over exposed...:confused:

What is your set up and how are you metering the subject and background?

SO the BG was over exposed and the subject was over exposed.

I just got a great deal on a new 27" Elinchrom BeautyDish, and already ordered a set of five eBay diffuser socks for it. now I need a grid for it.... What grid do you guys use for this exact dish? And if you have a link to it, that'll be great!

Thank you...

the 17" grid is already available, the 27" grid should be out soon.
