Very nice... can you share the link?

I sure can ... http://www.diyphotogra​phy.net …ighting-the-ghetto-studio

this was mine built from that website - only difference is that I added a bar to the top to hold my 580EXII ... which is triggered wireless from my camera ... I just added it today ... <so it's not in this shot>

That is fantastic! I love how warm the images are and how you got the perfect amount of fill. I might do this.

I simply used a cars windshield reflector (had it in my garage) as the base reflector and normal white rip nylon for top diffuser ... top flash was dialed down to -1 ... triggered from master (not enabled) EXII

the 3/4" PVC pipe I had lying around my yard ... (failed irrigation project) ... so my sum total outlay (well this time round) was only about $15 for a few extra bends and T pieces

Thanks

Hey any chance you could get a shot with a model posed any you taking the photo, I just cant seem to put together where every one stands ha.

Model sits on a stool in front of the reflector - I shoot from behind (thru the middle gap) ... sorry I don't have shot of the shoot - but will do one up and post tomorrow sometime ...

Thanks
