Looks like asian tamale and buns from Jim, and that pic is making me hungry.

made you feel hungry

btw, the top left light is purposely compose into the shot?

Did this thread die or something? This used to be the top thread on here. :P

Moving from a 5D to D800 now, as well as going to school for photography. I wonder what strobes we get up there. I've been asking around but no one knows the names of the manufacturers. :< Supposedly they're buying new gear this year as well so I hope when I show up at the end of august we get some Elinchrom or even Profoto. If it's Elinchrom I'm getting my own gear shipped up. At least the Deep Octa. Omnom.

Speaking of octaboxes. I'm having trouble deciding what size of octabox to get to my BXRi's. Photographically I'd like it as huge as possible but unfortunately I don't have a gigantic studio. The height from floor to roof is 2.70m where it's highest and about 2.0m where it's lowest. (There is a ventilation duct along one of the sides making the roof lower there.) The width is about 4m. Do you guys have any advice?

I'll have something to contribute after the weekend.

Deep Octa 100cm. Delicious!

You guys won't mind me hanging around here once my new gear arrives, do you?

I have the softboxes you see in my gearlist, a multipurpose circular reflector/diffusion screen (about 70cm) and some diy white screens (80x210cm) made from corrugated cardboard.

guys, need some advise as I recently shooting macro, i realized i do need a flash gun. currently i am considering Yongnuo 460 or 560 model (budget manual flash) and this flash gun most likely will be attach to the hot shoe. I am wonder if am using this flash gun + the bxri strobes (skyport -connect to camera monojack), can them firing at the same time? if yes, this combination will be 3 lights...

What do you shoot mainly?
For models I use 100cm deep octa and 135cm octa. Both made by elinchrom.
If you fancy tad harder light then DO is good with inner diffuser only. For softer light 135cm octa is great.

Yes to this.
Another consideration is to add a modifier that has a egg crate available, like the 48X36 Photoflex

with

or check out the Photoflex octa's

They make really nice stuff for the $'s

Can't go wrong with an Octa; just decide which size fits your work best. I have the 53" and the 69". the 69 is a HUGE modifier in studio.
