two small red connectors on the back, not exactly a main visual feature ;) not to mention I have lots of black DVI connector covers I could use on them if I really cared about it a ton, maybe put them on for the photo shoot but thats it

currently I am using a white sheet of formica ;) its a laminate (I think) that is rather thick and flexible, kind of similar to a plastic.

well, there is always the DIY lightbox setup made from foamcore, some pvc-pipe, and such - I know one of the guys around here uses one, maybe it's Kirk (BlueAqua)

Thanks a bunch Charles :D I use a lot of foam core / silver reflectors in this particular setup because it is just the one overhead light bank. In the larger set I make up soon I will add in two satellite left and right banks because the reflectors just wont cut it in this particular setup with the larger items.

but your photos have really great aspects and feel to them, some times less lighting is more if you know what I mean. ;) :up:

Thanks for sharing your lighting setup, SNiiPE. I like the formica background - probably much easier to work with than my ol' Office Depot poster board! I'm looking forward to learning to work with Strobes.

Cheers Ian. :)

Since I don't have a studio flash setup, I try to stick with the "keep it simple" philosophy. Reflecting natural light and shooting when the sun is low on the horizon is always favorable to incandescent lighting, IMHO. That being said, I miss the "pop" of studio strobes. In a past life, I had a decent Speedotron setup. Nothing beats the crispness of 1k+ watts of strobes. :)

The studio is a good thing, but then Daniels MurderMod was in your MurderLair and the background for photos was Vancouver citie it was amazing, beating any possible studio with softboxes etc.

I don't think he blurs it, he's just got some sort of a black sticker, or a black duct tape to hide the Canon logo, ya know some ppl hating, and other stealing, so sometimes when u got high-end stuff, or anything that looks expensive it's sometimes worth to hide it. Sorry for the OT.
Or maybe I'm wrong ;p

You've got a sharp eye rob :) all the logos and markers on the camera are taped over. My dad and I recently went to Paris and you cant let people see the make and model of the camera in a big city like that. The tape on the camera strap has a steel cable under it that prevents the strap from being cut off of your shoulder as well.

and no problem with the OT :D I like my thread to have a friendly atmosphere so everything goes :up:
