This might be my Best Attempt So Far with strobes...

If you can beleive it...I can't...I really like it with 'My Wilson', and I'm pretty excited. My new 85mm 1.8 prime and the use of a single 60" Paul C. Buff Silver Lined PLM Umbrella for the first time after sitting in a corner since October! I can't wait for one of the kids to get home.

I think that is the same vacuum I bought my wife for Christmas....

Sorry, I could not resist.


I like the lighting, my question is the color cast. Is this what you were looking for?

That's OK...my husband had some choice words when he saw this photo, inlcuding #&^&*(*&*^$##!!...he hates this vaccuum.

I just took a shot or two. No settings to keep. The black BG was up and its pretty much a colorless piece of equipment. It appears to me at least to be an accurate rendtion of the real thing.

I need the kids, one of them any way, to sit and let me see what the lens and the PLM do.

The lens is a great lens and you will have tons of fun being creative with it.

I was not being derogatory about your image, I was not sure if the color was true due to the lighting/camera settings.

It is really not a bad image at all, well composed and 'different'.


I just read "silve lined PLM umbrella", that answers my question about the color cast.

My first time using it. I have tried the white shoot through and it can stay in the tube, I dont like it.

This silver lined came out today just because I needed to get it open. I thought it did better as a single modifier vs. my Profoto Softboxes.

I am looking for a nice crisp light...I will have to change the lenses out to see what happens with the same light modifier with different lens just for comparison. I have not been really happy with the larger softboxes but have with some of the strips for more crisp/sharp. Might be due to my smallish space or just my prefernce, was thinking of going for a 2x3 soft box and said let me see what this does since I have not tried it.

I like white ...or gold for warmth, but I am going to start shooting in RAW. New Years Resolution.

I do want a white beauty dish though....:mrgreen:
