Thanks for the tutorial Ben

Just curious and to clarify, are the panels opaque?

i think it's safe to say you know what you're doing.

No they are not..I often remove them when I want that "Flare" coming in to the lens for that "David Hamilton" look..:wink5:

Excellent schems Benji. Would it be too much to ask for a photo made with each technique in this thread?

just a quick question...why use continuous lighting and not strobes?

Here is the final outcome using this technique which is a mix of Strobe and mixed strobe-tungsten light.

I do use strobe througout. Only tungsten mixed with strobe for the backdrop and return.
