airbutchie Not too crunchy  More info | Apr 01, 2011 12:35 | #1531 ^ The last shot, I did, Ben... The previous two, the strobe/stripbox was mounted with Super-C Clamps on a backdrop support beam... I guess a visual illustration would probably work best, eh? Give me a moment... The studio is still setup from how I shot it... Be back soon... Hi. My name is Butch...

(not trying to start anything I am really looking at getting a ring light.) The site says: 320 Wattseconds 320 True Wattseconds It's 320 true Watt-seconds, just like the B800. ...Leo

I'd like to know this as well. I have a B800 and ABR800 but no power pack yet so I haven't tested them out in the sun.

Depends on the modifiers, working distance, and just how much you want to overpower the sun. As mentioned above an AB800 bare and close will work, if were using the AB800 and ABR800 together you might get there.

anlenke Senior Member  575 posts Joined Mar 2011 More info | Apr 01, 2011 15:39 | #1544 My B800's generally struggle to really overpower. Generally, in midday sunlight, I can fill any shadows cast from the sun straight overhead with a modifier like an umbrella/softbox and, depending on the situation/light, I can usually darken up the sky/ambient by 1 to 1.5 stops if I'm in pretty close. Really though, if you want to use modifiers and not have the light in the face of your subject, it's worth it to go for a B1600/Einstein to be able to knock down the ambient by 2 stops or a little more...You'll still have a tough time blacking everything else out, even with 640 w/s... Never tried my ABR overpowering the sun, but I would guess it'd be the same as the B800 (same w/s) Hi. I'm Anton.
