Ok, so now that I have my cactus V2, its time to start trying some neat things... I have 2 flashes (both on v2 receivers) i have a white backdrop.. and if I'm correct in my thinking, I can us one flash behind the subject, put a colored gel on it, and it will put the color onto the back drop...
so, in order to get the subject lit properly, i would put my other flash out in the front (i put it camera left for my test) i had them both dialed down to around -3 i believe it was, but it just seemed as though the rear flash (with the gel) seemed to take all the power... instead of just a red backdrop, the whole thing was red, me (as the subject) as well...
how do i set up my lighting so that I can color my backdrop and properly light my subject???
i have umbrellas (black and a white) and I have a home made softbox as well... for my tests they were just bare, no diffusion of any type...
sorry i cant post the samples i took... i deleted them
