Speaking of beauty dish's my PC Buff 22" HOBD "silver" is sitting in the brown box behind me along with another B1600 and a 13' air cushioned stand! I cant play with it yet though :-( it's a BDay present.

I think it's more of a strategy than anything like Dodge and the "hemi" iirc other manufacturers use some sort of hemispherical combustion chamber as well. I think it's be hard for any type of BD to not be "high output".

I'm having trouble choosing between the 15° and 30° grid for the hobd. Does anyone have any examples side by side?


no samples, but get the 30 degree, overall it will be of more use. 15 degree to me only lights a person face properly. 30 degree will cover around just below the chest and up

Thanks for not doing the cliche "making a heart with a ring".

Looks great though!

I like these! seems like a cool location. You matched the ambient pretty well. The only giveaway is the hard opposite leg shadow.

It's funny what a man can do in the presence of a beautiful woman.
