nice!

Just to get your brain jumped....you can also apply this concept when shooting with strobes mixed with ambient light.

Lets say you have a shot that requires 2 pops on a flash head to get the proper aperture...But the shutter speed is 1/60th sec for the ambient. Then you can shoot one flash pop at 1/120th sec....and then shoot a 2nd flash pop at 1/120th of a second on the same frame (so this requires a mutliple exposure setting instead of bulb) That makes the single frame now have 2 pops of flash and a total of 1/60th worth of light....so it's possible to use this concept when mixing strobes with ambient.

This is a great way to balance ambient light and strobes when photographing architectural interiors.

VERY cool GV. Thank you for those examples. :cool:

Here's some product shots I did with one D-Lite 4 and a reflector. Please excuse the poor keying work on the tuna tins.

I'd imagine that the Dlite 2's would be fine for the purpose.
