SB-24 in DIY Beauty Dish about 2 feet from the face - F/2.8 1/16th power.


I had the privilege of working with this highly sought after model.
He is very exclusive and a pain in the ass to work with.
Hopefully I will find a better model soon.


I built this http://davidtejada.blogspot.com/2008...or-sb-800.html today.

Super simple and easy to make.

Nothing shows up, just an 'unavailable' flickr pic.

But I did check out your flickr and it looks like a cool shot. Sorry you had to deal with such a jerk!

Fickased

I think you linked the wrong one? maybe?

Why, because the model isn't beautiful?

I thought the beauty dish one was the one where you look black.

edit: I mean "the model"

You mean this one:


This is just a heavy edit of the image above.

^ I like the edit, but the eyes dont seem to fit IMO. That model must be expensive btw, whats he charge per hr?

He doesn't want me to say what he charges.

I think the original is a bit hot in places. Once I find someone else to put in front of the camera I will be able to experiment with lighting ratios and placement.

that guy looks like a pompous ass.

the lighting looks great though!

did you use the flash on the camera?

No, I had the DIY Dish on a Nikon Sb-24 mounted to a light stand.

I need to get someone else in front of the camera.

damn it, i was just about to start building this. i mocked it up and it doesn't clear the lense.

where can i get a cheap light stand?

this will do the trick, you will need an umbrella swivel though to mount the flash to the stand.

This is an awesome umbrella swivel, note the thumb screw on the cold shoe, generic swivels do not have that and without it your flash is prone to falling when tilting the swivel.
I have 3 of these and highly recommend them.

You can probably pick up a cheap stand there as well.
