sdipirro Goldmember  2,207 posts Likes: 46 Joined Dec 2005 More info | May 29, 2008 08:56 | #16 I recently got the 5x7 version, along with the train. I haven't started shooting with it yet but love the portrait lighting you have here. I'll be using a Dlite-4 inside the Hilite and a Dlite-4 in a Photoflex octobox as the main light in a setup that looks a lot like yours. What settings did you use in your Dlite configuration for background versus main light? I could play around with it, but I'd love to have a good starting point! Thanks. Cameras: 1DX, 1D4, 20D, 10D, S90, G2

Borderfox Goldmember 1,367 posts Likes: 4 Joined Mar 2006 Location: Dunshaughlin, Ireland More info | I used 4 on the dlite inside the hilite and 5 on the main one, this was using a large softbox that comes with the dlite kit. Very happy with the Hilite and the effect is excellent and all my clients love the shots from it. I used Guy Gowans line and wrinke removal method on the portrait also.

I have another 580exII so in theory I could have put that on the far side but I didnt in that case. Click Here and Join the POTN flickr Group Today!

Just hope to know what the effect looks like with a single speedlight before I pull the trigger..... This space for rent.

Looking at your gear list you have both flashguns to do the same effect. Click Here and Join the POTN flickr Group Today!
