Hermes, I like the idea of being able to paint foamcore black or white for versatility.
Wilt, being able to use shoot thru as a scrim under bright sun would be great. Will likely try both techniques since cost is not high. Thx guys.

Got several messages about the balcony doors natural light setup and post processing so I'll post responses here.  Post processing: In Photoshop, I use Imagenomics Portraiture to smooth skin because I don't enjoy spending hours fixing blemishes with healing brush, clone stamp...  Then use Phototools which has alot of presets for changing the tone and color.Another natural light shot, she was in trailer and natural light pouring in was really nice and created great catchlights:  Peter

GentlemanVillain, not sure what happened to your post. Which constant tungsten lighting is your friend using? And does he have to shoot at higher ISO? Peter

Wilt Reader's Digest Condensed version of War and Peace [POTN Vol 1] More info | Sep 24, 2009 18:37 | #25 Thanks, but I don't hate you any less, because you shot her session and I didn't. And you cannot even delete the post with her shot in atonement for the distraction you have caused, because I know her website now...too late to atone! You have caused the most extreme thread drift I have ever had the privilege to see on POTN. You need to give me OK to edit your image and repost!

There's a number of lighting variations using the v-flats with a head or two bouncing into it. Use one v-flat with parachute fabric in front. You'll need to place a 4x4 foot foamcore on top of the v to support the fabric and to control spill. Use two v-flats to make an 8x8 foot light bank. A 4x8 goes on top to control spill and to support parachute fabric. Only time I'll use no fabric with a v-flat is when lighting seamless paper background. X 200 Johnny, Robert

I've gone to Jo-Ann Fabrics and bough standard white nylon ripstop and sport ripstop and although they do soften and diffuse the light, I don't find them to be of the same quality as the front diffusion panels on high quality modifiers. I've often heard that the fabric is all the same but I don't believe that. There are clearly differences in the fabric used. Robert
