Show us how you get the magical lighting in your shots.

I'll start.

Strobes, stands, vagabond2, and triggers altogether were about $800.

These are some very basic, beginner level 160ws strobes.

Nice! Thanks for the setup shots! Seems like those strobes do alright for ya! Vagabond II is my love

Nice, looking to get strobes myself. Thanks for the setup shots, they look great as usual.

this was completely useless, we were just seeing what we could set up. lol. probably could have triggered another 4-5 flashes while we were there. we have a lot of firepower between the 4 of us.

we usually use 3 B800s, 580exII or 430ex. trigger them all with pocketwizards. i think we have like 10-12 when the 4 of us shoot together.

**UdubBadger** · 11-11-2009, 12:47 PM

awesome stuff... I only have 2 impact tungsten lights and a 430exII but I should start bringing them for shoots cuz it really does make the photos look better.

BTW how are you guys powering all these lights?

lucky7 · 11-11-2009, 12:58 PM

vagabondII (google it), and AA batteries. :D

BMDubz · 11-11-2009, 09:12 PM

LoL ridiculous strobe setup lucky7.

Pswirley · 11-11-2009, 10:54 PM

Love it.

Thanks for sharing Dane.

I also recommend daytime strobes and OCL for anyone.

The ten flash off of one Vag2 made me lol.

I need a 3rd strobe and something to create some ring light.

lucky7 · 11-28-2009, 05:07 PM

3 B800's.
