We got kicked out of two locations after all of the gear was already setup. We spent 5 hours between setup, tear-down, re-locate, setup, tear-down and I only got one shot using my new strobes.

that sucks, shot looks great though

 

It sucked. Especially cause the police was a d!ck. Still had a blast.

 

wow, you can submit that first photo for official cateloge, lol

 

5 hours for two pics? or am i missing something....???

 

you got screwed. beautiful picture though

 

First pic is awesome, second needs some editing, I can see your reflection.

 

The first two sentences?

thanks!

I just stiched and did a B&W conversion. I don't care for the composition. It was just a quick test to see how it would come out. By one Brenizer calculator, it gave me an effective 90mm f/.9. Gonna stitch a few more pictures next time around. Looking to get down into the 50mm range.

 

Very nice! I tried the Brenzier last year but it bogged my computer down. I'm sure my new build can easily handle it. that first shot is gorgeous. What lights did you end up getting? Perfect reflections on that shot, wow..

 

Gotta make another attempt under better circumstances,and add some strobes, too. How many images were in your pano? I took only 26 as I was running out of time.

Thanks! Picked up an Elinchrom Ranger RX with two S heads. I used 3 strobes for that shot. One S head at 900ws and two 600RX at 400ws for fill. All three strobes were pointed at the white ceiling.

 

I had 16 iirc but the problem was that I shoot in RAW and didn't change it to sJPEG or even sRAW to cut down the time and effort it takes to auto stitch it together. It was just a test in my old apartment and I aimed it at my gel on my sink and did the circular motion until I thought I had enough. It was interesting to see the effect but not enough for me to do it more than on a rare whim when I'm bored. I had to clean some parts up as it didn't stitch perfectly together but nothing too bad.
