I prefer the pooch to the selfies, Mark.

I gotta disagree. For me, less lights is more - so I prefer the bare bones set ups done well.

Carmen, there's always a rotten apple in the bunch.

Nice shot. Always appreciate the bts shot too.

You funnee!!!!

So I did some more experimenting yesterday. Obviously, I was incorrect, as usual, and Profoto is right, surprise, surprise. My first very unscientific test was totally flawed. I now tried it with the 1Dx alone, after first putting the light on, and it did overexpose. Seems like a simple fix for them. That and HSS and I'll be set. Oh, and maybe a model or two. Okay, I'll settle for one.

As of now, the only models I can get are quite hairy. Oh, and this one weighs only 4.5 pounds: (Mola Setti above and to the left of camera.) 5DIII.

LOL, thanks. I've started to always do a set-up shot for my own reference, otherwise I'd forget how I lit certain images .

pew pew profoto

wow, amazing makeup jobs.

nice work Rick

Great images, Rick!

So I'm thinking of getting a Profoto umbrella. Of all the softboxes and currently the Mola Setti I've owned, I've never had an umbrella. I just watched a webinar with Mark Wallace where he shot a small impromptu group with one and the results were great. And I shoot my extended family from time to time.

Any thoughts on which one and whether they are worth their high price in comparison to others.

Thanks
Mark

I have umbrellas by Profoto, Elinchrom, Westcott... They all seem to be the same quality, and I think they would all be damaged equally by outside wind conditions. Or to put it another way, no one brand appears to be super strong or sturdy. My favorite is the silver Elinchrom, for the textured surface. The Profotos seem to be made from a heavy white vinyl, which makes the umbrella heavy.
