Strobist Info: 2 Canon 580 EX II and 1 Vivitar. Most shots had one strobe camera left, right, and center. Power set between 1/2 to 1/4 power. No diffusers. Triggered using pw's.

Here's two setup pics:

1 - 2 strobes used for this shot

Nice. I'd like to see a little more ambient in some of them, but nice all the same!

I totally dig the colors and the toning on the first pic. Last pic in the first post doesn't work for me, but the others are all just plain good.

With 3 flashers, you are a lucky man and you use them well.

Great pics. Some of them could lose a bit of contrast, but overall spectacular.

I'm still at loss with regards to how you guys get than evenness in flash light across the car. When I tried to strobe my car, I was getting hot spot of flash reflections...

- did you use a CPL?

passing it everyday on my way to work.

So... the silo was tilted like that every day? ;)

I'm on my laptop, so I won't comment on the quality. Looks like a good series.
