Using MULTIPLE strobes - creative examples - post yours!

Thanks for the comments everyone, such high saturation isn't my usual style. That being said I do like how they turned out, I think the colours actually make the model pop a little more.

The shoot wasn't focussed on any particular items of clothing or jewelery, more just an overall polished "barbie" look.

Thanks Luke
Yeah I had to use a 9 ND filter to dial down the sun so i could get a f2.8 with a shutter speed of 1/200 I also had to set the ISO to 50

nice nice! I really need to get me a 5DII so I can shoot at iso 50 haha, one less of a stop would go a long way in the sun

It's not native under 100. Suggest ND filter.

50 works just fine for portraits

I did use a 9 stop ND filter.
I seen that Pham shoots alot at 50 ISO so Ive been using it and it helps ALLOT

I'm pretty sure all ISO 50 does, is basically overexpose ISO 100 1 stop and brings it down in camera. Nothing special.

Not 100% sure on that, think I remember reading it somewhere.

kylyo, that is correct but it would still speed up the process and allow it to be alot easier to properly expose in camera, dont have to over expose the lights aswell one stop and hope that you got it right and that it'll work when you process... but yes ND filters are very useful and I do need to pick some up asap!

yep.. i use ISO 50 just to get another stop

as to noise.. the 5DMKII is best at 100... but an extra stop is an extra stop..

WOW ^^^ Pham I'm really digging the whole fantasy processing your doing now! I have a friend that teaches P.S. with a graphic back ground in this type of look, I sent him your flickr link and asked him for some help next weekend. thanks for the inspiration.
Pham what grid do you use 15 or 30 deg grid or does it really make that big of a difference.
