Some images from today's lights test session with Austen (CharlieHarper).

#1 145cm x 145cm indirect (Quadra) as the background, Elinchrom square reflector (with diffuser and grid, Ranger) booked high CR. A bit of glasses glare, but not too bad.

#2 Crop of same to prove reflector use :-) You can see the square catchlight and the grid on the glasses (which clearly need a clean...).

#3 MidiOcta (Quadra, inner diffuser) boomed high CL, dropped the BG about 1.5 stops, IIRC.

#4 Deep Octa (Ranger, white deflector, inner diffuser) boomed high CR, Quadra 21cm
(8") grid reflector with 20deg grid rear CL.

#5 As #4, but with a red gel to show exactly where the rim light is falling.

#6 The mighty Porta-Quadra Rig (TM) in action in its latest guise, with an Elinchrom 27cm x 27cm Portalite attached. Austen is driving it.

#7 As above

PS - Luke, you see my Maxilite on the table. hahahahaha

cheers, juice (Canon shooter, Elinchrom lighter, but pretty much agnostic on brands.)

Such a discrete little lighting setup..perfect for sneaky candids..no-one would notice that at all :p

Seriosly...nicely lit and photographed..prefer Damo's model though...nothing personal..

Hmmm....That was me smiling, I don't get any better lookin' then that, and while I really wouldn't want to comment about Mic ...............

I asked Mic for his advice for a handy little P&S I'm going to need to buy in the not-too-distant-future.

I was thinking G11 Vs S90/95 but was asking about the lack of hot-shoe on the S90/95.

Mic assured me that it wasn't an issue not having a hot-shoe, and then gave me his rig to play with. I seemed to be receiving contradictory messages !!!

That does seem to be the consensus around here !!

If your Profoto gear can make me look like your model, I'd say it would be money well spent, I'd never have to buy my own drinks again :D

OTOH.....Would it really be a good thing if I looked like that :shock: ??

Thanks again Mic, I'll send the photos off to PCB for his C&C regarding the lighting :D :D !!!



I just want to take nice photographs of people.

It was good fun, and we learned stuff.

Well, we'd have preferred Damo's model as well!

I'd switch if it really was :-)

The place looked like Kayell after a new shipment arrived this arvo. Deadset.

^^^nice

Just put in my licence application. now for the long wait. Plenty of time to research what rife and what calibre. Front runners ATM are .22lr and a .243.

I've been told by a few shooters that 2 rifles wont be enough. Bit like lens collecting eh

@nathan - it's a ruger 77 mk2 vt (varmit/target or in other words heavy barrel) in 22/250, I like things with a bit of reach

with your current front runners you had better define what you want to do as 22lr and 243 are miles apart

I haven't shot for a while, but it's something I'd like to get back into when work settles down, 243's very practical ;)

Sydney-folk - if i wanted to get my 1D3 serviced as well as getting the Sigma 24-70 calibrated to the body where would be the best place to do this?

Preferably somewhere that will have it done within 2 weeks maximum?

Thanks!

Canon...They had my 1DII and 24-70 done in 6 days. I told them I was going away (which I was).

Give them a budget and they'll just get it done.

Hopefully the metering is all correct when I develop the negs!
