The Elinchrom FS30 as a prop

/in , /by

During the small workshop from last week we did one setup where I used the Elinchrom FS30 as a prop.
We lit Manon with the modeling light of an ELC 1000 strobe.
To give accent to the side of the FS30 I used one Lastolite Switch box II Large fitted with a Phottix Mitros+ strobe.
To light the smoke a bare strobe was used, also a Phottix Mitros+.

Both strobes were balanced with a Rogue CTO gel to balance them towards the modeling light of the ELC.

In post I tinted the images with a blue tint.

Platja d’Aro 2015

/in /by

Some workshop locations are incredibly cool and you always hope to visit them again…………
Last year I taught a 2 day workshop in the beautiful Platja d’Aro in Spain and much to my delight we will be back there in May this year.
If you want to visit the workshops make sure to register soon because these kind of workshops are always sold out pretty fast.

 

Hope to see you in Platja d’Aro.

Small flash and the sun

/1 Comment/in , /by

Tip:
Small flash is often regarded as “not powerful enough” but this is not true. Compared to the big strobes it might look that way however with the small flash system you can use something called HSS (High-Speed-Sync) and that makes it possible to shoot on much higher shutter speeds than with for example studio strobes or battery powered solutions.

There are limitations.
Because the strobe “strobes” you will find that the light output is much less, but this is often countered by the higher-shutterspeed, but also recycling is much slower.You can of course add 2 strobes together for 1 stop more (add 2 more for another stop).
