Playing with my new lights.

[gizmo2071]

So I just picked up my 2x Bowen Gemini II 500 flash heads :}
Been very excited about this for a while.
I've used them at college before and they are really good.
These are the first few shots I took with just one of the lights set up with an Umbrella.
Boy does it feel good to be shooting at iso100 and a decent aperature!
Usually in my house it's so dull, even with all the lights on and lamps directly at the subject. I struggle to go below iso400 and thats usually between F1.8 and 5.6.
So now I have this and lots of playing to do

***Ah yes. These are all straight from the camera apart from resizing and bordering***

1) 50mm prime lens. 125/F11

2) 10mm wide angle. 125/F8

3) 50mm Prime. 125/F8

I have taken so many more.
I thought this was a nice small range to show.

I also brought lots material today aswell for my backgrounds.

I'm happy for you!
I love my lights, they make such a huge difference in how creative we can be.

Look forward to seeing more.

Thanks man.
Decent lights really are prciey over here, but hopefully I can do a few shoots and pay for the lights as quickly as possible.
And of course..... have fun along the way.

I'm hoping to be able to buy a travel pack within a couple of months so I can shoot on location....

haha. I should just be happy with what I have for now

Right after I bought my AB's, I ordered the AB Vagabond battery system!
*i still haven't had the chance to use it yet *

Congrats on the new lights and backgrounds Gizmo. You'll be able to do a lot with two lights. Have fun learning all the rules of lighting ... and then breaking them!

(uh ... the rules, not the lights)

Thank you
Can't wait to start playing and trying different things
